Glad you mentioned this since I take issues with this "requirement".
Yes, I have seen the docs that say this is how it should/must be. However, my 6.1.x server has been a "library client" to the 5.5.x "library manager" servers since I first installed and configured it. I have never seen an issue with this configuration. To be on the "safe side", I have been migrating the LM functionality to the new 6.2.x servers.
