 Hello @arush

 I could not replicate the same in 5.6.2.

 Whenever I use NVDA, these are the steps I use to edit blocks.
 1. Open a post/page.
 2. Focus in the first edit field which is title.
 3. Switch to focus mode.
 4. Press Tab.

 At this point 1 of 2 things is going to happen. Either you will land in
 the first blocks edit field or you will land on the first blocks button.
 If in the edit field, you can start editing. If on the button, press Enter
 to activate and you will be taken to the edit field of the block. Pressing
 Escape puts you back in navigation mode which is a Gutenberg mode, not a
 screen reader mode. Navigation mode means you can use Tab and Arrows to
 navigate the blocks list which is made of buttons and edit mode means you
 can edit a blocks content.

 Hope it helps. If not, could you please try to describe in more detail
 what you are running in to?

 Thanks.
