One challenge of having Elsweyr as the setting for ES6 would be that as of right now, the Khajiit are mostly loyal to the dominion while the Bosmer are more likely to rebel. Not to say rebel Khajiit would not be impossible, but a new reason would have to be made. Here are some ideas of my own but feel free to suggest your ideas as well.

1. Religious persecution. Like the Stormcloaks, the Khajiit might rebel because the Thalmor outlaws worship of certain gods. This time it won't be the worship of Talos since most Khajiit don't worship him. Though the Khajiit hold no god higher than the Moons, Khajiit also worship some of the Daedra(Azura, Hermaous Mora, Hircine, Mehrunes Dagon, Maphala, Sanguine, and Sheogorrath) and Daedra worship is illegal in the Summerset Isles, and odds are the Thalmor will enforce this law in Valenwood and Elsweyr. So like the now extinct Ayleids and Chimer, Khajiit rebellions might be waged in the name of these outlawed gods.

2. Khajiit crave change. Khajiit are a shifty people and crave change(provided the change benefits them). Durring the reign of the Septim Empire they did rebel, though it was unsuccessful. So they might try rebelling again if they feel that losing the Thalmor would be a change that is good for them.

3. To save Tamriel. The Thalmor's true goal is to unmake Mundus and ascend to Godhood. And if the Khajiit find out about this, their not going to allow this, since again, they only accept change if it benefits them.

4. If they find out the reason Massar and Secunda vanished was because of the Thalmor. Lore wise fans know that in the 4th Era, the moons vanished from the sky, and when they appeared again, the Thalmor claimed they had restored them. This smells fishy to me, if the Thalmor restored them moons, then is it likely they caused them to vanish in the first place?
