With the ignition switch on, the reading between the ignition coil terminal and the distributor terminal reads 6.15V regardless of whether the points are open or closed.

If the wire between the distributor and coil is still disconnected and one lead of the meter was on the coil terminal and the other lead was on the distributor terminal then yes, there is a short.

BUT--If the distributor wire is hooked up to the coil and one lead of the meter was on the coil and the other was on engine or frame ground then no. If that is the case, the constant 6.15 volts would mean the points are isolated or not closing or connecting to ground for some reason.
