To understand the given description, all mathematical dogmas should be forgotten for a time, in particular, Eratosthenes' sieve, as well as to consider the numerical series formation as the stretched process from time to time controlled by us.
Essentially you're proposing to restrict the sieve of Eratosthenes to the numbers of the form 6n-1. That works because every such number is always divisible by a prime of the same form. Nice observation. But in practice your sieve is not that much different from the sieve of Eratosthenes and has almost the same very limited applicability to the prime number generation (mainly because of high memory requirements).
