Easiest option with not many changes in your.

<ul class="blog-list">
    <?php $i = 0; ?>
    <?php foreach ($siblings as $sibling) : ?>
    <li><a href="<?php echo get_permalink($sibling->ID); ?>" data-nav-position="fade"><?php echo get_the_title($sibling->ID); ?></a></li>
    <?php if(++$i>=6) break; ?>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>

If you take some of elements of array do not use foreach (see the word each?).

Use for loop instead

for($i = 0; $i < 6; ++$i){
  $sibling = $siblings[$i];

to get first 6 or

for($i = count($siblings); $i > count($siblings) - 6; --$i){
  $sibling = $siblings[$i];

to get last six (in reverse order)

EDIT

This won't work if array keys are not integers or have some empty ranges in it. You may then use array_slice() as suggested in other answer or array_pop() six times.

use array_slice to get last six items and then loop through it.
