Tall people may have a tendency to a larger heart, and AF requires a large area of heart tissue to happen. Also (as for me) *some* tall people may have a tendency to a very mild form of Marfan Syndrome, which is a disease of the connective tissue (there's a web site something like www.marfan.org.uk). My original cardiologist said no indication in me of Marfan, even though I am tall (it takes more than just tallness), but my present AF specialist says it could be there, just at a very low level.
