Yes. In that topology. If you want to monitor 5k(A) source port to switch 5k(B) destination you will need RemoteSPAN.
And AFAIK you can't do that through peer-link, you need separate trunk for that. Your simple option is to use 5k(A) only. Best option - make dual-homed connections via VPC and monitor VPC to two separate dest ports on both NXs.

Eventually the plan is to dual home the 4506 back to the 5k's but we currently can't do that.

From your picture I see 4506 single-homed to 5k(A) only. If so, you might want to use RemoteSPAN. If 4506 dual-homed to both NXs via VPC you can monitor port-channels on both of N5K.
