I'm pretty sure her speech about emotions was not "You need to feel certain emotions to summon things"...

Weiss got pissed off at Jacques and started channeling her anger into trying once again to summon, so Winter said "Emotions can grant you strength. But you must never let them overpower you." She didn't say that emotions can make summoning easier. She was saying that emotions can grant you strength to do things that need to be done, but letting your emotions overpower you is a bad thing.

Summoning is not about feeling the emotions that they experienced when fighting the thing they're summoning.

From Winter's speech earlier in the scene, they summon enemies that caused them to grow as a person or fighter in some way.

If Winter got her Beowolf summon from a whole pack of Beowolves (which is a possibility, considering the Weiss short), they may not have needed to necessarily be a physically difficult battle for her. There could have been something else going on along with that battle, such as with Weiss and the Boarbatusk. Weiss being able to summon a Boarbatusk isn't about how hard the fight was or how pissed off she was, but rather the lesson she learned after her frustration from the fight caused her to blow up at Ruby.
