    update="msg4 msg5 msg6">
</p:commandButton>

Do an ajax update of the message component like this

<p:inputText value="#{myBean.lastName}" required="true"
                label="Last Name" id="lastName"
                validatorMessage="Invalid Last Name">
      <p:ajax update="msg6" />
</p:inputText>
<p:message id="msg6" for="lastName" display="text" />

After that see if you have any more errors. I think there are some left and you were not able to distinguish them with the previous messages that is why the form is not getting submitted.
