Unfortunately, the SDK also reveals that 3G OTA updates are contingent upon the size of the update and if its too big, it will force you to download it over WiFi. Perhaps the option to update over 3G is meant for smaller updates such as 5.1.1 and not bigger updates (like 5.1, 5.2 or 6.0):
Keep in mind that this could change at any point in time after all, iOS 5 hasn’t even been officially released yet and thus, OTA updates aren’t supported.
