You are not suppose to add them up to get six just like you don't add the notes in the treble and bass clef to get six quarter notes in a single measure. It's simply B D B. The last bar in the bass clef can be written differently with rests and ties between quarter notes. But to make it easier it's written in two parts: on top a quarter rest then half note, on the bottom a half note then quarter note. The two parts are played at the same time. The B D B are played on the beat but you hold the B while you play the D then the play B again on the third beat.
