The 15mA refers to the drive strength of the signal. Jaguars and Victors have opto-isolators on their signal input, which means they draw current. I believe that most servos don't have an opto (though I could be wrong).

The servo 6V supply has 3A available for actual power.

I do not actually know the rules on N servos per output. Please Q&A it.
