It's possible that "getting one automatically" is what's happening, but it's written as "one Bronze card guaranteed" which makes the calculation more complex. The simplest algorithm for implementing the guarantee would be to distribute the first five cards and if no bronzes had been received give them a bronze as the sixth card. Or, if the guarantee is actually "one card that's at least a bronze", randomize the sixth card and upgrade it to bronze if it's an "iron" and cards 1-5 were all iron.
edit: never mind, I now realize that the simplest interpretation of "one bronze card guaranteed" works out the same as "getting one automatically". It would only be different if you interpret the guarantee as "one card that's at least a bronze".
