4TB to 6TB HDD Replacement: Data Degraded?

The volume is degraded because you removed the disk. What that means is that the volume can not recover from another disk failure. That is completely expected behaviour. XRAID with single redundancy can only protect against loss of one disk - and when you removed the drive, you lost one.
When you insert the new disk, it will add it to array, and redundancy will be restored after the resync. After that, the NAS should prompt you to reboot. After the reboot, the volume should expand by 2 TB.
The process will take a while - I don't have a good estimate, but my guess is 12 hours to restore redundancy. Expansion will be quicker.
