This is incorrect and 1.23 should work with Puppet 6. What gives you the impression that this isn't supported?

Again, 1.24 has received a large overhaul. Please have a look if that documentation makes more sense.

I ran into an issue with the combination of foreman 1.23 and puppet 6 straight out of the box with a default install.
Unfortunately I can't remember what it was exactly...

So I check the documentation further and came across this part in the documentation (see screenshot).
It doesn't mention that puppet 6 is supported.
So I started over and used puppet 5 instead with the exact same steps and encountered no issue.

I'm running foreman 1.23.1 and puppetserver 5.3.11 now.
