Weather conditions etc isnt the case for sure here.

The car doesn't have the power to increase speed in 6th at 5k rpm. Autos have the gearing to hit i think 212mph, manuals i think 178mph. But not the power, at a certain point the power needed to maintain speed will equal the engine maximum output and only be able to maintain not increase speed no matter how long of road you have.
You will hit “top speed” long before hitting redline in 5th (for autos) In fact you will hit top speed around 6k RPM in 5th gear. If your in manual mode the car shouldn't shift if in auto it may see the lack of acceleration/speed increase and be programmed to shift into 6th to maintain “cruise” speed.
