No it's not.  We notice that we add 11 each time to get the next number.
We subtract 2nd term minus 1st term, then 3rd term-2nd term, etc., and
observe the pattern.  Then follow the same pattern to form the next three. 

   sequence      2nd-1st    3rd-2nd    4th-3rd     pattern       next 3       
–6, 5, 16, 27,  5-(-6)=11   16-5=11    27-16=11  +11,+11,+11   38,49,60

Reason: 27+11=38, 38+11=49, 49+11=60
