Middle order bats probably expected to be able to score a little more freely (depending on the game situation). Hence Renshaw and probably Khawaja will always be top 3 bats. You could easily chuck Warner, Ponting or Hodge in at 6 if you wanted and they'd do fine.
As for other comments, you don't bat a good #3 at 6 is because you want your best bats at the top of the order dealing with the best bowlers at their most difficult. Still, if your best 6 bats around the country are all batting in the top 3 or 4 for their states, a couple of them are going to get shuffled around.
Most top 3 bats would love to come out and face a 30 over old ball on a wicket a couple of hours in.
