Without evidence or explicit knowledge I'd guess:
- a significant bug was found in 5.6.0.1 prompting a rollback
- someone messed up and forgot to bump the build number
If my fire 7 2017 was in os version 5.1.1 how would I root it and install a custom ROM? Could I use kingroot?

There is no FireOS 5.1.1 for 7th gen (2017) Fire 7 devices. If you have 5.1.1 it's likely a 5th gen. Use the SuperTool to root, block OTA and perform other useful functions prior to installing a custom ROM.

You probably mixed the versions of Android (lollipop 5.1.1) and fireOS (5.some.more.numbers). Since the first one is identical for all versions of fireOS for this device, please only use the latter one.
Yet there's no known root method for 5.3.2.1 and later.
My kindle fire 7 came with 5.0.1 thats why

Answered (conceptually) in another thread. Almost certainly a 5th gen (2015) Fire vs 7th gen (2017) Fire 7.
Purchased in Jan/2018. in particular which version of Android should I install.
My 2015 Fire is running Fire OS 5.6.2.0 but it when i check for a new update, it says “Fire OS 5.3.6.4 is ready to install”
Do you know any causes for this and why is it downgrading?
im not sure where it became 5.6.2.0 (the only thing i can find about that is alexa enabled fire 7)
