Open Seasams says e.g.:
JailBreak.

The current method (WatchThis) requires a device running a FW version <= to 5.14.2.

If that's not you, then you're currently sorely out of luck.
Well, I am <=5.14.2, so Watch This should be for me. But then WatchThis sas >=5.13, so WatchThis is not for me.
combined with the next sentence it means "sorely out of luck".

Then there is the Snapshot page, which has Jailbreaks for 5.0.x - 5.4.4.2 and 5.10.3 - 5.13.3 but nothing for the versions between.

I'm lost, I'd like to find an easier method than upgrading to a supported WatchThis-version. But I don't see any!
A lot of people have trouble doing a jailbreak with WatchThis, so unless there is no other way some other method would be better to try.

One of the easiest methods in a long time is KindleBreak

but you will still have to update first. The first post has a Firmware updating tutorial at the bottom.

There is also a PW3 only that is running 5.9.x where x <= 6, which is perfect for you except that KindleBreak is still easier even counting the required update, unless you want to stay below 5.10.3 and some people do want to do that because kindle firmware has been getting worse and worse since 5.9.6.x
