There will be no effect on the secondary side voltage because in transformer frequency remains constant, but the hysteresis losses will increase when the transformer is made to operate at 60Hz.

If we are connecting a 50 hz transformer to a 60 hz transformer then there hystersis and eddy current both losses increases considerably (for detail check effect of frequency on transformer losses).
