It's a strange line, the only hand that makes sense for him to play this way is 54. Any set or 2-pair he should raise earlier. If he wants to bluff, that would be one way to do it - too expensive for me to find out. In my experience a very strong hand >90% of th time. Or do you see any option to call this?

Total pot: $1.84 (Rake: $0.08)
BB wins $1.76

From opponents point of view, your range might be heavily weighted to overcards -- so he might do this with a worse overpair.
Also, he is short stacked -- this might affect your bet sizings.

He may also hold 66 as well as 54, so the fold is fine

he could also have 66. I think the fold is good - You also block A4 A5 which are his main bluffs. I'm more inclined to call with KK QQ
