South's double is supposed to have heart length, so IMO it's clear for North to bid any 4+ major ahead of 2nt. 2nt should be something like 3-S, 3-H, 3-C, 4+D.

2NT says " 2-6♣,2-6♦,2-5♥,2-5♠,8-TPs,likely stop in ♦".
I think it is impossible for north Gib to hold 6-card ♣/♦, its definition is very worse.

Now let me do an experiment.
If really holds 6-card ♣, what will it happen?
Even if really holds 5-card ♣
If really hold 6-card ♦,what will happen?
Even if holds 5-card ♦

It could quite reasonably have 6 clubs if deemed too weak for 3♣ directly over 2♦ when it passes, though it should bid 3c not 2nt after the double. I'm probably not bidding 3♣ on say 3 HCP and 6 clubs for example.
The main thing is that 2nt should deny 4 cd major or 5 cd clubs. I imagine deny 6 D is right too. 5 diamonds ... maybe with very poor spots and some stuff outside it might simulate that 2nt is better than passing the double so it should probably be permissible but rare.
