Yes, that's what it looks like.

>systemctl stop brltty

It's possible that it's been started via a udev rule.

>but it keeps on giving me braille.

Sure, because it's running and in control of the device.

>I am not even sure I need to stop 5.3.1 before starting 5.6.

Yes, you do need to stop it. Two brltty processes can't be in control of the 
same device.

>When I try to start 5.6 now I get this:
>
>brltty: USB configuration set error 16: Device or resource busy. 

Exactly. That means 5.6 can't get the device because 5.3.1 has it.
