From my very basic understanding of the mechanics, all 6 will be operating under some kind of shear condition, to a degree. The top three will also have more of a tension load as the mount will probably want to pivot around the lower end as the TV will be slightly cantilevered out. So the top three will be the most important and it seems beneficial that they are into brick.
tldr; so long as it's not a MASSIVE telly, I would have thought it would be fine. I would go at least red plugs for the top three. Maybe even brown for peace of mind.

Cheers- ordered the same part from another shop.
On an unrelated note- TV wall hanging:
3 of my fixings (upper) will be into Brickwork- easy enough with masonry rawlplugs, but the lower 3 are into plasterboard (lazily covered fireplace by previous owner)
My thoughts are- GripIt plasterboard fixings x 3.
Should work right?
