I believe you've misunderstood what the 0.6 bar represents. It's a comparison against 1.0 bar at sea level, so it's a 40% loss and hence the difference for a tyre at 28 psi would be 11.2 psi.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
This is the effect on a tube of Pringles at just 2,500m. I think at 4,000m it would have burst but I was hungry so I ate them and never found out
