Neither the CD4046 nor the 74HC types will work well at those frequencies. I think you need to take a step back and rethink this project.

74HC4046 datasheet says that VCO center frequency @ Vcc 6.0V is min 13Mhz typ 21Mhz ? Am I missing something here?
Benta:
Didn't say it wouldn't work, just that it won't work well. At those frequencies, the VCO output will not look like a square wave. And the PD will have issues.

Ok, then what do you suggest, is there a chip that will work well at those frequencies?
iMo:
The most recent variant is the 74HC9046 with improved params.
The only way how to verify it works fine at 5-15MHz is to wire it and measure..

An LC oscillator with a varactor?
