...mixing RG6 and RG59 in the same system. Cannot help but wonder if there could be an impedence mismatch?
Both are 75 ohm impedance. No mismatch there.

Of greater concern is that the RG59 typically has a thinner diameter center conductor. If you connect it to a female F-connector that has previously had RG6 connected to it, you may find that the connector does not make a secure physical and electrical connection. Such a loose connection behaves like a capacitor and can cause a loss of lower frequency (think VHF frequencies) pass-through.
