Worse case is stall current. Sorry if I wasn’t clear before.
While I'm not sure about the Frsky receivers, most receivers these days use multi plane boards with more than (1) power carrying land between the various servo pins. I can't say I've ever heard of a receiver having a board problem with regards to current on the power buss. With regards to HV and servos, for a given amount of torque, with HV there will be less current than an equivalent torque LV servo.
