I believe that what Ash is saying is not that 1 out of every 6 breedings will result in a Rainbow. Ash is saying that with the given combo, there are six results and that Rainbow is one of those 6. So 1 in 6.

If you put a blue button in a bag with a green button, and pick one out, you have a 50/50% chance of getting a blue button because there are only 2 outcomes: blue or green. It doesn't mean that if you pick a button out of the bag 100 times that you'll get blue 50 times.

You're looking at 2 different "chances".
