Please make sure that "Latest Stable Releases" are dependent only on similarly "Latest Stable Releases" of other products.

I installed Microsoft.Data.SqlClient 6.0.1 from nuget in a Solution targeting .NET Framework 4.8

This requires an upgrade to Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlManagementObjects, but the only available nuget package for this, greater than 172.52.0 is "Latest Prerelease 172.61.0-preview

While I don't expect this to cause a huge problem I would like to avoid anything other than "Latest Stable" packages in the software we want to release to our customers.

Can this please be addressed?

You should address that in the SMO repo.

See microsoft/sqlmanagementobjects#188

If the SMO preview package + MDS 6 passes your tests, let us know. If there are positive votes and no reports of regression I will promote the SMO version to non-preview.
We've not yet had time to test with sqlclient 6 internally. In the past, major version upgrades of SqlClient introduced breaking changes, so I wanted to avoid promising forward compatibility with it in the SMO package.

Thank you all and keep me posted.

Sounds like this is an external issue. Please follow up with SMO. Thanks!
