Other 53cm road frames I've owned (Bianchi, Miyata) have felt smaller / shorter.
In general, I seem to like small bikes compared to the other ~5'10" folks I know. I think it's my stubby t-rex arms. I chose 53 'cause I was wary of buying a too big frame, which is ultimately harder to correct for.
You'll probably be okay with the 56.
