Having 6 players on the court is not your fault. However, letting 6 players play is most certainly your fault. And I say this as an official who has had this happen to me. Nothing can happen until you hand the ball to the inbounder. So just hold onto it for 2 more seconds and count the players. I learned that lesson the hard way.
