The 58 cm frame will be equipped with 175mm cranks, which are rather long for your legs, unless you happen to pedal like Jacques Anquetil or Greg LeMond. My opinion is, rather than buy an oversized bike to raise your back angle, find a model in the correct size with an extended head tube.

Frankly, your long arms should enable you to handle a lower handlebar with ease. Maybe you should be looking at flat-bar bikes.
