You've proven me exactly correct. If YAC wasn't included in YPC, than he would have 5.5+8.5 = 14.0 yards receiving. He doesn't have 14.0 yards receiving, he only has 5.5 yards receiving (on one catch). Therefore, YAC *must* be included in the AVG. 1 reception for 5.5 yards = 5.5 AVG. Which is what your post showed.
The YAC simply suggests, as other have noted, that the player caught the ball 3 yards behind the line of scrimmage.
The one statistical anomaly that I am surprised is still in the game is having sacks count against your rushing yards. They should could against your passing yards. How has that not been corrected by now?
