What notebook are you trying to update? Maybe we can help you, but it's tough to do without the model number.

Click HERE to access the Inspiron 5100 BIOS downloads. And as you have said, the older versions, with the exception of A22, are not available. I looked on Dell's FTP site and I didn't see BIOS Version A06 (I51_11A06.exe) either. It seems that they have pulled those versions.
You can go to my site and get a ISO file of version A06. Just burn it to a CD and then boot from the CD. It will get you to Version A06.

It is labeled "Inspiron 1100/5100 System BIOS, A06".
