I'm looking at an older one ARM DDI 0487F.c

D5.5.5 Stage 2 memory region type and Cacheability attributes when FEAT_S2FWB is implemented

The text talks about the bits in the PTE, not relative to the MEMATTR
field, so 6 << 2 encodes to:

 543210
 011000

Then see table D5-40 Effect of bit[4] == 1 on Cacheability and Memory Type)

 Bit[5] = 0 = is RES0.
 Bit[4] = 1 = determines the interpretation of bits [3:2].
 Bits[3:2] == 10 == Normal Write-Back 

Here Bit means 'bit of the PTE' because the MemAttr does not have 5
bits.

And here the text switches from talking about the PTE bits to the
Field bits. MemAttr[3] == PTE[5], and the above text matches D5.5

The use of numbering schemes relative to the start of the field and
also relative to the PTE is tricky.
