Gleason score and metastasis

59 years old patient, after biopsy and IHC, it's found that the gleason score is 6. Which means metastasis is very less likely.

But after doing PSMA PET scan, it was found that a tiny malignant spot found in the iliac bone.

The doc went straight to the diagnosis of a metastatic cancer.

Is it like a valid statement from the doc? Like after contacting another doc, he also was confused on this paradox.

I'm kinda worried rn and my terminologies might not be accurate.

What are your thoughts?
