No, the six outlets are not amperage rated to be connected to a 20 amp circuit. A normal 15 amp receptacle can not be protected by a 20 amp breaker. Change the 20 amp breaker to a 15 amp breaker. This combination will pass code regulations.
===============
In the United States, in a home, you can connect two hard-wired (not cord and plug connected) fans and six receptacles (outlets) to a single 20 amp circuit provided the 2 fans do not draw more than 10 amps together. If they are cord and plug connected, this limitation on the fans does not apply.
In commercial and industrial installations, power to hard-wired equipment is provided on different circuits than receptacles.
What else can I help you with?
Can you use 10 gauge wire to connect a 2 15 amp outlets to a 30 amp breaker?
No, it is not safe to use 10 gauge wire with a 30 amp breaker as the wire is not rated for that high of a current. It is important to use the correct wire gauge that matches the breaker amperage to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards. For a 30 amp breaker, you should use at least 10 gauge wire.

What amp breaker do you need for a run of 10 outlets?
It depends on the use of the 10 outlets. 20 amp is the norm. If this is in a shop with heavy loads then you would have to break them up.
How many electrical outlet can be install to a 30amps breaker?
A 30 amp breaker is usually used for a dedicated 30 amp device. Ordinary 15 amp receptacles can not be connected to a breaker of higher trip capacity than the rating of the receptacle. The wire size for a 30 amp breaker is #10 AWG.
Can wall outlets be on a 15amp breaker in the bedroom or do they have to be 20amp?
Technically, they can be on a 15 amp breaker when you use 15 amp outlets. There is a difference. Be sure to check your local code (just call the city building department and tell them you have a code question). some cities require the bedroom outlets to be on an arc-fault breaker.
How many 115 volt outlets could you run from a 20 amp breaker?
If you never plug anything into them, there is no limit. If the total current drawn from all outlets exceeds 20 amps, the breaker will trip.
What size breaker should be used with ceiling fans?
Use 15 amp breaker with 14 gage wire or 20 amp breaker with 12 gage wire. Either way will work just fine.
Is it possible to power a 30 amp RV air conditioner with a generator with only two 20 amp outlets by combining the two 20 amp outlets to produce one 30 amp?
No, you need a 30 amp breaker (whether that's from a generator or not it doesn't matter) with the proper voltage.
How many outlets on 15 amp breaker?

Can you use 40 amp breaker for your lights and plug ins?
If you are referring to house wiring then the answer is no. A breaker protects the wire size that is connected to the breaker. In home wiring most homes are wired with a #14 wire which is rated at 15 amps. That is why the wire is protected by a 15 amp breaker. The correct wire size to connect to a 40 amp breaker is a #8. This size wire is too large to connect to receptacles an light fixture terminals.
Should 25 amps breaker be replaced by 20 amps?
For typical residential house wiring 12 AWG wire is required for a 20 Amp breaker. If you change out the breaker for a 25 A breaker you would have to rewire the circuit with 10 AWG. In that case you could up the breaker to 30 Amps. All outlets and switches should be rated at the same voltage and current as the breaker.
