First: did you run mergemaster? I remember somewhere after 4.6 I was experiencing the same problem. It had to do with the PAMification of ssh and caused sshd to refuse any new connections. I believe killing the sshd parent process and restarting it solved it for me, without losing my existing connection. Just for cases like this I usually keep another ssh daemon running (usually the non-commercial version of www.ssh.org) on a nonstandard port or I enable a thouroughly wrapped and firewalled telnetd, just in case.
