Totally normal. As you increase the dwell angle, you are retarding the timing. This is because the points are closing earlier and opening later. Your 6 degree increase in dwell retarded the timing by 3 degrees. That's what made the engine run slower.
First, set the dwell where you want it. Then reset the timing to spec.
