I carry my pixel 3XL in my left front pocket with jeans... it fits, and I've adjusted to it enough that it's not terribly uncomfortable, but it's a big wide monster and it's definitely bigger than a pocket phone should be. When I went to Best Buy to do some phone comparisons, I was shocked at how much smaller the 6 Pro looked and felt, it's the same height but way narrower, I would have no problem pocket carrying that. The width of my 3XL is the real problem when pocket carrying, not the height.
But putting a case on the 6 Pro that made the rest of the back of the phone even with the camera hump, would, imo, ruin the advantage it has over the older, wider phones for pocket carry. A slim case like the Bellroy, that tapers up to the hump, would be my choice to keep it thin and narrow. Although, honestly, if they could trim that camera hump down a bunch I wouldn't even call the Pro a big phone... compared to what I'm used to anyway lol.
