Apparently, there was more than one condition. The Colts are returning the 6th round pick back to the Jets.

This is sort of odd - usually there are two picks involved......like conditional 6th but if conditions aren't met, then it is a 7th substituted instead.

From the Jets beat writer, it appears the Colts traded Hairston for nothing. Maybe things are more complicated because the Jets don't have a 7th round pick currently.....and the Colts said don't worry about it.

Can confirm Colts sit at 8 draft picks in 2020, instead of nine, because the conditions of the Nate Hairston trade weren't met to get back the Jets' sixth-rounder, as @BrianCoz reported

What happened to Hairston? Don’t much care about a 6th. Honestly, this team doesn’t need depth. It needs more difference makers that are starters.

He didn't play that much - about 35% of the defensive snaps. Didn't even appear in 5 games.

Eh - I'm not that high on Gase as a head coach.....he always seems to do weird things with his roster decisions.
