We found out the reason!
Unfortunately it's not something we can fix.
It's not a problem with the V860N flash profile nor the V6 II. It is a mechanical constraint on the V860N itself.
When in HSS mode, the adjustable power range on the V860N is fairly narrow. What you see on your photos is the actual power range it is capable of.
Even when you mount the flash directly on the camera, it does not alter how the flash behaves - it's only that you don't notice it because you're in TTL mode when you are doing HSS. BUT the actual power it pumps out is indeed limited, as you see the power tops off fairly early.
So when you use the V860N for HSS, you can only play within its power range in HSS mode. Under x-sync, the flash back to normal as for the adjustable power range.
Let us know if you require further assistance.
Thank you.

Thanks for the update.

When you say "monolight" are you referring to bigger studio strobes? Or jsut normal speedlights? Because the Godox 860 is not a monolight per se?
If you are talking about speedlight then the Cactus RF60X? Since it has built-in radio to communicate with the V6 II, you have one less thing to worry about.
Cheers!
