2011 NEC article 210.23(A) permits 15A receptacles on 20A branch circuits; 30A branch circuits must use 30A receptacles. If the OP's 30A branch circuit has an L6-20R on it then this would be a violation; see NEC Table 210.24 for a summary of the code.
Hi Lamar, Nobody is talking about putting an L6-20R on a 30 amp circuit. OP was talking about putting an L6-30P on a 20 amp appliance: a PDU that has its own 20 amp breaker. Big difference.
