It seems pretty clear to me from the BYB:
"Shots resolved at a Zooming Flyer can only be resolved as snap shots (unless you have skyfire etc, etc)"
And as for snap shots:
"It's important to note that any shooting attack that does not use a ballistic skill cannot be "fired" as a snap shot"
Your skill does not use a BS therefore it cannot snap shoot, therefore it can't engage a flyer...
Just because this ability hits on a 6 does not make it a snap shot. Snap shots are resolved at BS1, it's not using a BS to hit, ergo it can't hit flyers..
I fear the umpires at Spoils may be mixing up needing a 6 to hit, with a snap shot, 2 entirely different things in this case (imho)
My $0.02 anyway...
