Yep, From your pic I would say both.  Looks like the 5th is hammered down good & tight, but 6th maybe can be hammered down some more?  I vigorously hammer all my frets tight to the board & have not had to sand / dress them yet.

You may want to check 9,10,13, 15 and 16 also. Maybe its just the picture angle, they look like they aren't fully seated. Not trying to be smart, just trying to help.

 Looks like it is buzzing at the 6th fret when making a note with your finger on the 5th fret ?    See if you can hammer your 6th fret down .   If the fret doesn't stay down you can try super gluing (or epoxy )  and clamping it down .

Thanks for the replies. I improvised a putty knife for a fret level gauge and located the misbehavors.

It sounds much better.
