for what I see on the source

MAGICK_LIBRARY_CURRENT=5
MAGICK_LIBRARY_REVISION=0
MAGICK_LIBRARY_AGE=0

so the 5 seems right.

Surely ImageMagick is famous for breaking interfaces
(octave moved to GraphicsMagick for that reason).
On the changes log there are things like:

2011-09-10 6.7.2-5 Cristy <quetzlzacatenango@image...>
    New version 6.7.2-5.
2011-09-10 6.7.2-5 Cristy <quetzlzacatenango@image...>
    SO bump.
2011-09-09 6.7.2-4 Cristy <quetzlzacatenango@image...>
    New version 6.7.2-4.

bumping library version in a very minor version ???

You can remove 6.3.0.1 and libMagick10
