Will it skip frames, because 60 is obviously not being divided by 24 (23.976)?
On older devices I had the problem, that 24p content always was stuttering when refresh rate was set to 50/60.
It was on some CoreELEC devices as well.
You'll get something a bit like 3:2 (or actually 3:2) when you play 24fps content at 60fps. When you play it at 25fps you'll probably get a repeated frame every second (which will be far more obvious). At 50fps I'm not sure what the cadence is likely to be - it might be similar or slightly less obvious.
You CAN manually select 4K 24Hz as an output resolution in the Chromecast with Google TV - so if you mainly watch 24fps movies (Blu-ray and UHD Blu-ray rips), US Netflix and Amazon shows etc. you'll be OK - it's the boring requirement to switch back to 4K 50Hz for European/Aus/NZ etc. TV content (and 50Hz movie DVDs) that's really tedious
