For the two-point graph, $L=2$ and $I=2$, so its <superficial degree of divergence> in three dimensions is
$$
D=3L-2I=2.
$$
Its additive mass-squared counterterm is therefore proportional to $\lambda\Lambda^2$; writing that counterterm as $m^2\delta_m$ gives the dimensionless scaling $\delta_m\sim\lambda\Lambda^2/m^2$, or $\Lambda^2/m^2$ when coupling factors are suppressed as in the question. For the six-point graph, $L=2$ and $I=3$, so $D=0$ and its ultraviolet divergence is logarithmic:
$$
\delta_\lambda\sim\lambda^2\log(\Lambda/m).
$$
Suppressing powers of $\lambda$ yields the two stated estimates.
