Unfortunately, Confluence makes that pretty impossible without some super-human efforts*. Each page has a history, but the only snapshot that exists of the full pre-6.0 state is the PDF, and it would be nearly impossible to recreate the 5.5 version from that in order to make a 5.6.
*With direct access to the (mySQL, I assume) backend database, one could theoretically reconstruct the prior versions, but suspect it would be a likely thankless and painful task that would be more work than it's worth.
