Three possibilities
2

Only 5 months separated the launch of the original M5 and M6.  We are now at almost 11 months since the launch of the M6 II.  I can think of 3 reasons why there is no M5 II

  1. The M5 line is dead and the M6 II is now the top of the M system. 
  2. Canon is holding off on the launch of the M5 II until they can cram in IBIS, dual card slots, weather sealing, 8K, etc.
  3. Canon's engineering department is so bogged down with RF mount products the M5 and M6 will now be on alternating generations.  In other words, M6 II, M5 III, M6 IV with roughly 18 months separing each model.
