When I was reading, I was about to say he cannot just call with 30% of his stack but he 3-bet jams, which is a different thing.

I don't have any ICMizes anymore, so I cannot get a solid EV answer but he goes my basic analysis:
He probably thinks he has a better position in HU, if he wins your chips as well and has nearly double the chips as his opponent.
If he calls and looses, he's still second in chips. If he calls and wins, he's the CL by far and more close to winning.
Alone this situation makes it lean towards a call.

He can also assume that the midstack will let you both fight and not get in it, except if he has a monster like QQ+, for example.

Since you're down to 6 BBs, you're supposed to shove wider than usual. Indeed, he's still flipping most of the times but with a decent risk/reward ratio, in my opinion.

You're right with his favourable position in the next hand but he can get any two cards and probably he identifies you as a tight player who'll probably have a better hand if you decide to re-jam which will put him in an unfavorable position. If you just folded, he still hasn't won your chips.
