Google officially released the Android Nougat 7.1.1 update for Pixel, XL, C, Nexus 6P, 5X, 9, Player yesterday. But there is still no sign of the Nexus 6's 7.1.1 OTA on the official website.
Google's own words say "When we launched Android Nougat, we were excited to deliver even more ways to make Android your own. Today we’re rolling out Android 7.1.1, an update to Nougat that showcases more ways to express yourself, along with a handful of other sweet features and improvements to stability and performance. Android 7.1.1 brings many of the cool features of Pixel to everyone."
"Today, and over the next several weeks, the Nexus 6, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, Nexus 9, Pixel, Pixel XL, Nexus Player, Pixel C and General Mobile 4G (Android One) will get an over the air (OTA) software update to Android 7.1.1 Nougat. Any devices enrolled in the Android Beta Program will also receive this final version"

Every Google device, when launched is given a scheduled update support period i.e. 2 years major OS updates and 3 years security updates.
The lucky Nexus 6, even after being more than 2 years old is officially supported for the major updates by Google. Android 7.1.1 will soon be released for it.
The Nexus 6 still has a powerful hardware in today's standards to sustain in this Android environment
. This is a very good move by Google, just like Apple, to support older devices.
