Vent height above roof.
I have a main vent and a sink vent and both are only 6 high above the roof.

Above the roof plumbing vent height.
You are letting air into the plumbing system of the house.
Vent pipes should extend to outdoors above the building roof and should terminate vertically not less than 6 above the roof surface nor more than 24 and must be at least 12 from any vertical surface such as a nearby sidewall.
Above the roof surface with a listed cap or listed roof assembly.
So 28 inches plus 24 inches is a chimney height of only 52 inches.

The slope is about 4 high for every 12 horizontal.
Upc i 906 1 and 906 2.
The 6 you describe should be just fine.
