In a RAID5, the parity block is a XOR calculation of the rest of blocks but, in a RAID6, the second block parity is the XOR calculation of what blocks?

It's not an XOR, more complex math is needed. It's on the wikipedia page you linked that image from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_RAID_levels#Computing_parity
