Slightly higher was meant for average value. 9 for worst roll that is replaced and 15 for best roll that is replaced gives 12 average, which is slightly higher than 10.5.
Though you are both correct that with +5 modifier d6 spells are almost maximized / overchanneled. The simple solution is then to remove Charisma dependancy and make Empowered Spell increase any damage dice value to its dice average (round up) if the rolled value is less than it for the affected spell - to 4 for d6, to 5 for d8, to 6 for d10 and to 7 for d12. Then it fulfills its purpose of making even very bad roll average or slightly better without maximizing any kind of dice spell. So, Empowered Burning Hands does minimum 12 damage out of possible 18 and slightly more than average 10.5. Seems decent, will update starting post.
