‌Yes. See path 1 here: VCP6-DCV Certification

That path points you at the delta exam (2V0-621D), but you can also take the regular exam 2V0-621) - passing either before your VCP5-DCV expires will give you VCP6-DCV and renew your VCP5-DCV.

Currently, both those exams are based on vSphere 6.0, there are 6.5 versions in development that will have different codes, but that won't change the requirements talked about here - it just means you should prepare yourself for the correct version exam when the time comes to take it.

There is no VCP 5.1 or VCP 5.5, nor was there a VCP 5.0 - only VCP5-DCV.

So, yes.
