With six coax cables and an equal number of antennas?  I don't think
so.  However, I might be wrong about the 60 degree sectors.  It could
be 120 degree sectors, with two antennas per sector, one vertically
polarized, the other horizontal for MIMO.  Or maybe 3 different
service providers sharing the same pole as in DAS.

These are what I'm used to seeing for small cell antennas:

Note that they're better looking, usually side mounted, and larger.  I
used to live off Meridian in San Jose.  Maybe I'll give it a visit and
get a closer look at the antenna.  I can't believe the shoddy
installation.

Yeah, but they run VHF (150MHz) and UHF (460MHz) systems, which use
bigger antennas.

I hate mesh networks (for wi-fi).  Details on demand.
