Sometimes it is more useful to look at the task outside of the WordPress field, but from true programming.
You can use custom SQL query to get your users ids and then do what you want with them.
Place the code below into functions.php
function wpse_177536_get_user_ids(){
global $wpdb;
$sql = "SELECT user_id FROM $wpdb->usermeta WHERE meta_key='columnista-destacado' AND meta_value="1" LIMIT 6";
$user_ids = $wpdb->get_col($sql);
return $user_ids;
}
Now anywhere, for example, in front-page.php
you can call this function like this:
$user_ids = wpse_177536_get_user_ids();
