I have a Sapphire RX 5600 XT in a new build and on the first game (Civilization VI on high settings) i've fired it up on for a test run the VRAM utilisation % seems high sitting at 88% - 90% of the 6GB for the duration of play. Is this a normal occurrence to be so consistently high during play? Not having viewed diagnostics like this before (through the Radeon OEM software) it came as a bit of a shock, i had thought maybe on a FPS with high settings these sort of figures would occur

I wouldn't worry about it, many games will use more VRAM than needed if it is available.
It ran flawlessly in the game as far as I could tell, the level of detail compared to my old laptop with a Nvidia 760m on lowish settings was an eye opener. It was strange all other statistics including temperature where low and it didn't sound or look like there was any issue with, just the strangely high vram.
No it's the Radeon software
As far as I remember it's set at 1920x1080
The only point of difference of how I would run the game is that I had it windowed rather than full screen, but as far as I knew that's a non issue?
I might drop and lift the settings to see if it has any impact.
It's probably a bug with radeon overlay reporting. This is quite common for me with Vega 64, sometimes even reporting usage above its actual capacity.
Also ran the graphics Gathering Storm benchmark on 4K max settings w/ Hi-Res textures and it was only using 4.2 GB of vram. Unless your game starts stuttering I wouldn't worry about it.
