Due to the fact that OnePlus is maintaining multiple region-specific builds, the version numbering scheme of OxygenOS is rather convoluted nowadays. In a nutshell, the OnePlus 8 owners in India and International regions should expect OxygenOS 10.5.7 as the new OTA, while those in Europe should expect to receive OxygenOS 10.5.6. For the update scenario of the OnePlus 8 Pro, the company has rolled out OxygenOS 10.5.8 for EU, Indian, and International models.
