What is minimum spacing in case of staggered rivet conn in gusset plate analysis. Is it mini. in same row of rivets or adjacent row of staggered rivets?

Is it 3+3=6" or 3" See attached file.
FYI. I am checking bearing resistance of bolt holes on gusset plate analysis.

In the AASHTO Standard Specs go to Sections 10.16.13 And 10.24. There isn't any specific spacing limitation on gusset plates but You can follow the provisions of 10.24.
I must have misunderstood your question. I read the 6" from your drawing.
