It depends on whether you view his 6 fights in the WSB as part of his pro record. The fights were made under pro conditions and he was paid for them, so it seems anomolous to exclude them.
Bob Arum tweeted that he will face Salido on Mach 1st

No I don't include them as he can only fight other amateurs ! But 5 rounds with no vest or head guard is certainly a help

They were sanctioned by the AIBA, who for whatever they claim, are an amateur organisation, although they seem to have intentions on the pro game, something that needs to be stopped and fast before it gets out of hand. If it isn't on boxrec, it's not professional boxing.
