NEC ECC: Must the Sectional Completion Date (X5) be moved if the Condition for a Key Date relevant to that section is later than the Sectional Completion Date?

If all of the activities and milestones were logic linked correctly then the programme should have given you that answer. Given that a Key Date is within a section of works with a Sectional Completion Date under X5, it would seem that a delay to planned Key Date would lead to a delay to planned Sectional Completion Date - all of which should be assessed within the original CE that affected the initial Key Date.

A change to Key Date will not always directly affect a Sectional Completion Date - as the Key Date whilst important may not be on the critical path that leads to a Sectional Completion Date - hence the correct logic within the programme when you are assessing any delay should give you the right answer.
