Is it legal to use a 60amp disconnect for 50amp circuit?

You have no chioce, the next size smaller is a 30 amp.

To be sure we're on the same page, are you talking about the rating of the switch or the actual size of the overcurrent protection?

you can put a 400A disconnect on it if you want to.

you can put a 400A disconnect on it if you want to.

The point being the rating of the disconnect and the rating of the ocpd are two different aspects of proper sizing.
