It's not about skill only. TLR could sooth more people than any normal allomancer, and Elend was able to keep control over more Koloss than Vin. I will admit that there is no proof that my speculation is accurate, but there also is no proof that yours is.
It affects everyone that doesn't have a counter to it equally, and nowhere is it ever stated that invested people resist it, besides this one WoB:
And 'large amount of Breaths' probably means more investiture than the average KR has.
Long story short, Brandon implies that it can affect the KR so long as they don't wear Shardplate. While this doesn't mean that the KR will be completely crippled by emotional allomancy, it will still likely be a useful tool in the battle, as soothing determination and courage while rioting fear and uncertainty takes almost no effort and will still harm the Radiant's combat capabilities.
