If you have an α,β-double bond next to your carbonyl, a γ hydrogen can also take part in tautomerism. Take crotonaldehyde H3C−CH=CH−CHO:
O=CH−CH=CH−CH3↽−⇀HO−CH=CH−CH=CH2
In general, a double bond is able to ‘extend’ the mesomeric properties of a carbonyl compound across two additional atoms. This is known as vinylogous; crotonaldehyde can form a vinylogous enol.
In the specific case of 6,6-dimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-one, these are the two tautome
