Will the RX-V6A damage the SP-FS52?

No. The RX-V6A is rated for the SP-FS52's 6 Ω load as it comes.

What impedance setting should I use for the SP-FS52 on the RX-V6A?

None: the SP-FS52 is 6 Ω, and the RX-V6A needs no change for it.

Is the RX-V6A powerful enough for the SP-FS52?

More than you need. From a seat 2 m away, loud 95 dB movie peaks take about 26 W per speaker, and the RX-V6A is rated 100 W per channel. Cinema reference level, 105 dB peaks, takes about 253 W.
