The Rambam in Maasaer Sheni I:5 does go like the sages in Usha that we go after picking. Then he goes like rabbi yochanan that an esrog coming from year 6 to year 7 is liable in maasar. This seems like a direct contradiction.
The Keseph Mishna says he is going לחומרא (being strict) in both cases. This seems to be absurd since the Rambam did not said we go by the time of picking and ripening according to which one is more strict.
To me it seems simple. It is like a gravitational field and an electric field. They don't interact.
The maasaer field is from Tu BeShevat to Tu Beshevat. So even though it is the 7th year in terms of shemitah it is still the sixth year in terms of Maasar.

The רמב''ם in מעשר שני א:ה does go like the רבותינו in אושא that we go after לקיטה. Then he goes like רבי יוחנן that an אתרוג coming from ששית to שנה שביעית is liable in מעשר. This seems like a direct contradiction.
The כסף משנה says he is going לחומרא in both cases. This seems to be absurd since the רמב''ם did not said we go by the time of לקיטה and חנטה according to which one is more strict.
Rav Shach wrote "This כסף משנה is not understandable to me as much a it ought to be." He clearly was being polite.
To me it seems simple. It is like a gravitational field and an electric field. They don't interact.
The מעשר field is from ט''ו בשבט to ט''ו בשבט. So even though it is the שנה שביעית year in terms of שמיטה it is still the שנה ששית in terms of מעשר.
Though the כסף משנה is absurd you can still see why he said what he said. He was building on the גמרא where רבי עקיבא took two different kinds of מעשר from the same אתרוג because of some doubt which one it was liable to.
Also he might have considered my answer but noted that the phrase coming from ששית to שביעית only means the חנטה was in ששית. For all we know the לקיטה might be after ט''ו בשבט.
