Yes.

As long as they are testing your app on your behalf, they are quite entitled to use iOS 6, to allow you to gather information on compatibility of your app on iOS 6 compatible products that you don't own.

Bear in mind once that testing is complete, they should then downgrade to IOS 5.1.1

(DFU, then restore using holding down Option when you click restore in iTunes)
