Yes, it is making something out of nothing.

The term "Six Paths" has always been used in reference to Hagoromo. Always. Six Paths Power/Chakra/Sage Chakra has been directly attributed by Sasuke to the power given to them by the Sage of the Six Paths. The Six Paths Technique refers to techniques used by Hagoromo that refer to the Six Realms of reincarnation in real life Japanese myth. Six Paths Senjutsu is used in reference to Hagoromo's unique brand of senjutsu. Same for the Six Paths Yin and Yang power. I could go on, but you get the point.

You're trying to attribute something mystical and unknown to the term "Six Paths", when it's never ever been implied to refer to anything other than attributes originally possessed by Hagoromo himself. That is making something out of nothing.

Edit:

The Six Paths, furthermore, is another way of saying the Six Realms as in the Six Realms of Reincarnation. The Six Paths Technique (where Hagoromo likely got his moniker) is named after these Six Realms: Deva, Asura, Human, Animal, Naraka, and Preta. Those are the Six Paths. Its not exactly surprising that he was named after his signature ability. He's not exactly the first (e.g., "Kakashi of the Sharingan, Shisui of the Body Flicker, etc., etc.).
