With 6 players in the pot I'd be thinking "no set no bet". Especially on a ridiculous flop like that where even if you're somehow ahead now, it will be tough to figure out where you stand on future streets.

Fold that flop after SB bets. You're just putting yourself into a gross spot by calling (or raising) here, especially with 4 players to act after you. You're almost certainly beat by someone here, and you still have the whole hand to play out even if you are ahead.
