It is a tablebases position and I guess that if you use the KBN vs KP tablebases
they can find the right moves.

It is clear that you use the KBN vs K tablebases but not the KBN vs K tablebases
and in this case they have no chance to see the mate in 6 because they stop to
search after finding mate.
