If you run the 6x6's the 12' way, you should put 3 piers in.
One at each end and one in the middle.
2x6's are too small to span 10' so you need to go to 2x8's.
The problem you have now is your shed floor is 14" above the ground.
it would be better to run double 2x8's across the piers and butt the floor
joist into the double 2x8's.
This would lower the floor 6".
Use all treated lumber in the floor or it will rot in a few years.
