The show IS canceled, it's not even questionable. A&E have always planned to go beyond six seasons if they had the opportunity. The reboot thing has been thought since three years, and it was planned to relaunch the show over several years if possible.

So "canceled" is the perfect and appropriate word to use, and it's the exact television term for that kind of case anyway. Even if they had been canceled in season six with the ideal conclusion, it would have always been a cancellation.
