Oftentimes, it can be hard to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing purely by going through specifications. The photograph here will give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the D5600 and Z6 II.

Plainly, both the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The D5600 using its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Nikon Z6 II will show more detail because of its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics far more aggressively. The older D5600 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
