Why would an animal need six legs?

And I'm not talking about insects. In what kind of environment could a large number of different species all develop six legs/limbs/appendages the same way most vertebrate species on Earth have four? Could it just be up to chance or is there a reason all animals on Earth have =< 4 limbs?
