It makes no sense because your entire problem statement centers around granting some permissions to some unnamed group but the permission 606 grants nothing to any group. Whatever permissions the members of that group have on a 606 directory or file, they have them because they are granted to everyone.
You should provide some specifics. Show us a long listing of the file hierarchy, with owner/group/perms, and examples of the commands that group members and non-members should be allowed to use and forbidden from using.

Does that mean creating a new file in the directory, or modifying an existing file, or both?

Reading a "dir" is essentially getting a file list, such as what
ls does. Writing to a "dir" means creating/deleting/renaming files. Is this what you actually intended to say? Or do you actually mean reading and writing to files within the directory?
Sounds to me like members of the group are intended to have less permissions than those not in the group.
