It means that GIB has 3 or 4 key cards (and so wants to be in slam). 5C was 0 or 3, it actually has 3, so raises the signoff to six. Similarly over 5D showing 1 or 4, if it actually has 4, it would raise the signoff.

The only one weak spot here is if 4NT asking person has 0 key cards and there is 5C reply.

Bidding 5M would be raised to 6M without 2 key cards, but supposedly it won't happen in careful bidding and more likely no reason to ask with zero key cards.

I think OP was commenting that if 5 is explained as 0 or 3, 6 ought to be explained as 3, not 3 or 4.
