Hi Maria.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the RPKI instances. My local bird2 instance is
connected to two routinator cache servers. Both are sending IPv4 and IPv6
information over. This is the outputs of both on this particular bird2
instance:

So here I see both instances with both address families, and the local
bird instance is using both of them.
