Not for the character races changes and a handful of new feats, but if spells are changed or the concentration tag is shuffled around, then I will seriously consider it.

So far, there is no such thing as 5.5/6e in the works. It's only an anniversary edition that is supposed to be backwards compatible. But there will be playtest and lots of information when it comes out, so I'll see then, although I'll obviously be very curious about the contents.
Buy it? Of course - I know who I am.
Play it? If it's what I think it's going to be probably - if it's actually just 5e with errata and tweaks and my 5e players don't have to buy into it for me to use the material then yes. Otherwise probably not. My 5e players aren't going to buy new books just because an anniversary edition is around the corner. They're mostly kids and/or have too many other things to spend their money on. (Heck for most of the kids I'm the one who bought them their first books - Johnny D&D-seed planting D&D books across the land...)
If it's a full edition upgrade where my players need new books then forget it. Unlike the 3e switch where I was begging for a new edition when it came, 5e is a reasonable game for what it is and for the groups it doesn't work for I have 13th age. I don't need D&D to be a different game.

I tend to avoid play test material and aloha/beta test games.
I can and sometimes do make exceptions but in general I want to experience the final product.
For example I’m excited about Baulders Gate 3 but haven’t purchased it while they are still creating it.

I'll look it over in the bookstore. Unless I see some serious changes for the better (IMO), then definitely not.
