When people talk about the 6,000-7,000 fame 'break-even point', they are referring to how much fame a race has to give before there is no difference between hiring the fame manager or not. At this point, a person would still earn gold on level up.

What your calculations show is the point where you would neither earn nor lose any gold. Using your minimum fame numbers, a person would not earn any gold on level up.

Your numbers are basically pointless for everybody since people earn fame in order to level up and get gold.

The 6,000-7,000 fame number is easily calculated by taking the fame to level up and dividing by gold gained on level up. A table of values can be found here.

The minimum fame per race ranges between 5,700-6,300 fame. This is the fame value that most players will actually find a use for.
