Would the tropic and arctic climate bands switch if the Earth's axial tilt changed to 60 degrees?

At 4:56 in this video essay, Edgar states that at an axial tilt of 60 degrees, the tropic and arctic climate bands will be switched, so that equatorial regions would be cold and polar regions hot.

Is this plausible? It seems to me that it should be more complicated than that - on a solstice, everything from 30- 90 degrees north or south would be dark, including one of the "tropical" poles, and everything on the opposite side of the planet from 30 - 90 degrees would have a full 24 hours of sunlight.
