Nick's first explanation was spot on.
Whilst the larger capacity battery "may" have the potential to supply more current when under a heavier load, that is only a reflection of shortcomings in the lower capacity battery which may cause the terminal voltage to drop when loaded heavily, whereas the larger one would probably hold up better.
The current that the drill will draw at it's design voltage is independent of the battery capacity and will be fine on the larger one.
