At $r=6r_g$, the local circular speed is $c/2$, so the receding direct-projection shift is $\sqrt2(1+\sin i/2)$. The upper envelope over inclinations is $3/\sqrt2$. It is not the shift for a face-on or arbitrary azimuthal emitter, and it excludes plunging-region emission and ray-tracing corrections.
