South first checks for a 4-4 major suit fit.  When North denies a four-card major, then South must ask how high.  North has shown 20-21 points and South holds 13 points.  With a combined 33 total points, 6NT is South’s rebid. 

If South swaps the ♦K and ♦Q, then with a total of 32 points, South would rebid 4NT.
If South takes away the ♦K, then with a total of 30 points, South would rebid 3NT.
