Strange sha256 results

[James B. Byrne]

When I connect via ssh from a FreeBSD host to a recently created
CentOS-6.10 host I get this message:

The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is
SHA256:EKfevqVDSBpuq1TBFf/vRtEqVsP4gUjGoc5OGVtnntg


I have never seen a hash value in anything other than hexadecimal,
which this certainly is not.  Can anyone explain what is causing this?
