My crystal ball is unsure what it is that you want to know.

 - Packets coming in from the remote device connected to the 6500 port
   will be forwarded to the other end of the EoMPLS link - no matter 
   whether STP, ARP, IP, or whatever packet (watch out for MTU if using
   tagged packets)

 - the 6506 itself will *not* generate STP packets on an EoMPLS port
   (neither outbound, nor virtually inbound), as it is not running a 
   bridge instance

 - CDP *will* be sent on the EoMPLS port, at least on some releases, so
   if you use CDP on the end devices, turn it off on the 6500
