On the D600 this comes into play at f8 and above so  a minimum f6.3 should be used.




Don't understand ...did you mean maximum? Either way that sounds a bit restrictive.
Defraction is caused by two things, a small f stop and sensor or film resolution. Old low resolution film in plate cameras would allow f64 exposures with no defraction and a great depth of field, but improved higher resolution fined grain films moved this back to f22 or f16. Now with higher pixel counts it's pushed back even further to f6.3. Doesn't mean you can't shoot at f16 with a D600, just that the pix won't be as sharp, for pixel peepers, as if you took the same shot at f6.3.
