No I read it. But canceled doesn’t mean “flight number changed,” nor does it mean “routing changed.” At least, that’s never been my reading of the CoC. I hope I am wrong and you get your money back, I really do. But my prior experience with a bunch of airline changes over the years suggests that if the CoC was written the way it is worded now, they would be making an exception.Significant change OR canceled. Fine... significant change is 6 hrs or more. But that's the second clause. The first clause is "canceled."
You might look to see if that six hour wording is a recent change. If it was different when you bought your ticket, the other interval is the one you could argue for. Check FlyerTalk maybe?
...because its Contract of Carriage specifies a shorter period as “significant.” Right now it too is six hours; it used to be shorter. https://thepointsguy.com/guide/change-cancel-united-airlines-flight/United thought 24 hours was "reasonable" but got overruled by DOT.
