You can import the photos from that catalog into Lightroom, or Lightroom on the web, and they will show up in Lightroom on your iPad. This of course requires a Creative Cloud subscription. The syncing between devices works because everything is in the cloud. Any edits, or other metadata you applied to the photos in Lightroom 5 won't come along with them, unless you saved the metadata externally.

I think the general advice here from both Bob and Theresa is that you need to update your LR version to take full advantage of its abilities, which will mean a subscription.
