X-RAID using 4 disks defaults to RAID5 so that should be RAID5. Are you sure you set the NAS volume on XRAID? or you have set it up on Flex-RAID? Flex-RAID RAID6 is possible.
Checking on your Data volume capacity it is on RAID6 having 14.5TB total size. If you are checking if you can get your disk out and get the benefit of having 2 parities. It would be best if you will check on the logs, check on initrd.log and see how the NAS was initialized. You can check on status.log as well to see if there are any chance that it was set on X-RAID after being set.
It is best to make backup first before doing any swaps and yes you will be able to run on degraded mode once you have taken out the disk.
