Where did you find this sentence? It's a tad messy without context. The closest meaning would be "as early as". Perhaps you expected a later arrival.
"He arrived at 6 o'clock sharp" is closer to ""He arrived at precisely 6 o'clock" or "He arrived at six on the dot."
"He arrived at 6 o'clock sharp" is closer to ""He arrived at precisely 6 o'clock" or "He arrived at six on the dot."
