Yes value bet the river, he leads the  Aspades and str8 flush's alot here.

I would lead about half pot which is about $10, no point in making it too much and folding out weak spades imo. Unless there is history then we can get funky with the bet sizing.

Agreed with Longy, but in this situation, he's very unlikely to make the call, but yes bet for value.

I wouldn't limp with K-6s preflop, could prove a leak. On the flop, I'd prefer to put in a raise and inflate the pot. You're in position on the river and ahead nearly all the time, so make a small value bet and try and get paid off by a queen high flush.

fold preflop, bet/fold river.
