The servo can only draw as much current as the 12v to 6v converter can provide, the rail will not give out more than 2.2A.

Using a larger servo for the robustness is a great idea, it won't be able to draw more than 2.2 amps. The servo will still work fine, but will still operate at 13.2 watts. Nothing will happen to the robo-rio.
