Something very similar to this happened to my oboe when I dropped it last summer. In my case, it was one of the rods down beneath the RH pinkie group that was a little pushed out of position. I was able to fix it -- at least, make it playable -- by taking that particular rod mechanism off, which freed up the jammed keys, and then putting it back together again. I didn't actually re-bend the rod -- taking it apart just freed it up, and I was able to put it back together all right.
Don't know if that is what is happening here. But look closely down along the rods beneath the pinkie mechanism, and see if you can see any binding or any distortion.
