I think you have it wrong.
A dewpoint of 60F means that moisture forms on surfaces in your home at 60F. This is uncomfortable and has a relative humidity of 100 % which is high mold condition.
A relative humidity of 60 % means that the water content in the air in that house is 60% of the maximum water content that the air at that temperature can hold.
