It does.

Nope, there's another thing which is involved which you didn't seem to
take into account:

Not necessarily.
Because all this is very likely caused by the dynamically generated
contents of /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove-kernels.
This file is regenerated when a kernel is upgraded and/or
installed/removed:

So in the last run this file has been regenerated in the 4.6 kernel's
postinst and no more sports 4.5 kernel packages in
APT::NeverAutoRemove. Hence it will be allowed to consider these
packages to be removed at the next aptitude run while it wasn't in the
previous one.
