As always, it just requires the driver to properly rev match (typically done by timing upshifts properly, rather than the throttle blipping technique used for downshifts.) There is no one rule for how long to wait before letting the clutch back out when upshifting, since it varies with a number of factors, including where the engine is in the rev range, how warm the engine is, etc.
Additionally, becoming good at rev-matching a 6th-3rd gear downshift is vital for passing/accelerating on the highway
TL;DR - Feel free to skip gears in any context/situation as long as your are using proper technique (including rev matching.)

Yes exactly.. I rev match it
or down shift if the car feels slow when trying to accelerate .. My friend has rev match auto on his MT FRS lol sissy.. Do it like a man.. Be one with the car
