No, it means as new currency is created by the blockchain, 6.7% "interest" (6.7% times the total 9% Steem Power inflation) is paid to you based on your holdings in the form of Steem Power. To view this in real time, load up the wallet of a whale, note the amount of Steem Power they have, then reload the page a few minutes later and watch it increase.

This is incorrect Luke. The current annual inflation rate is about 9%. The stats from Steemdb.com represent the allocation of that 9% across all the participants in the network. So the actual annual "interest" of holding Steem Power is 9% x 6.7% = 0.603%.
The distribution of the new tokens is currently still distorted by HF 19 the actual Steem Power interest should be 9% x 15% = 1.35% per the new blockchain rules enforced since HF 16.
Ah, shoot, I certainly don't want to spread incorrect information! Thanks for the correction. Yes, I see that's just the percentage of the newly created Steem that is allocated to Steem Power holders compared to other groups.
I will edit my post.
oh ok that makes sense now thanks for explaining. I like your posts all the time.
