I'm noticing the 6th string on my Sierra going flat as I'm further up the fretboard, even without any pedals or levers engaged. Is there some obvious way I'm missing to fine tune scale length per string?

Could just be a bad string. I had this happen recently with my fifth string. I put on a new one, and all was well. There probably are other possible causes, but I can't think of what they would be.
