Yes but in other instances when Jesus was speaking figuratively he would clarify what he was saying. Explaining parables was one example. However Jesus did not do that in John 6. Jesus did not tell his disciples to come back and explain what he “really” meant. No, that is because he was speaking literally here. Sure He did. He said: John 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.

If the verse you mention means he was speaking figuratively then verse 66 wouldn’t have happened.
