I think it's just another of many inconsistencies. I believe the implication in that section was that it happened in the winter just before the Nilfgaardian invasion ("the summer came, then the autumn" line), so 5-6 would be too young at that point. He says exactly "He was fifteen, she almost fifteen." Which I take to mean he was actually fifteen and she a little younger. Personally I place her age at this point (discounting all the discrepancies in Genealogy, just going by the Saga) at around 10/11, which I guess at a stretch, could be said to be almost fifteen. But I'm really stretching it there, really I think it's just another case of a mess of a timeline.
