A smaller pipe has two effects:
1. Reduce draft. 35 feet of 6" pipe can suck hard!
2. Increase velocity. You have a fixed pressure differential, and your stove allows a fixed amount of air into the pipe, so a smaller pipe = increased velocity. As begreen already stated, higher velocity = less cooling and deposit in the pipe.
