26" -> 650B Conversion for a MTB w/ Discs

I have a Kona Hoss Deeluxe that I want to upgrade from 26" wheels to 650B. My question is not if they will fit, but will I have a problem using the stock rotors (whats on the original wheel) on the new wheels?

As long as the rotors are compatible with the new hubs there won't be a problem. Rims are irrelevant with disc brakes.
