No, objectively, Belle got more in season 5, although in terms of quality her story in 6A was way better (only to be derailed in 6B).

In my opinion, Emma was sidelined in a way the main character should not be. Her screentime in 6A should have been at least roughly the same as it was in 5A, when in fact she had 40 minutes less in 6A than she did in 5A. Belle appeared a bit more in 5A but was heavily featured in only 2 eps in 5B (5x16 and 5x17), while in 6 she overall got a little bit of screentime in (almost) every episode.

I get what you say about Emma, but while 5A was basically focused on her so it's normal that she got more screentime, season 6 was more coral, with each character having a storyline on their own, so it's also normal that her screentime would have been (relatively) minor.
