Breaking the spokes in the middle is consistent with something getting lodged in the spokes, but if the derailleur wasn't damaged, it wasn't likely that it was the derailleur. My guess is that you picked up something from the road which was carried up and got stopped by the stays, and that managed to snap the 6 spokes before it got unstuck. I've seen this happen before, although not with as many broken spokes.
