That's a useless use of backticks, whenever you have "for x in `something`" it's often better to do "something | while read x".

Code:
find /opt/sample -type d -name Logs |
while read DIR
do
        find "$DIR" -type f -name "*.log" -atime +6
done

should print the matching files.

Are you sure atime is what you want? That's when files were last accessed, not when last modified, and many systems don't keep atimes these days.
