We investigate the electronic structures of iron-based superconductors having perovskite-like blocking layers, %Ca$_4$Al$_2$O$_6$Fe$_2$(As$_{1-x}$P$_x$)$_2$ from first principles. Ca$_4$Al$_2$O$_6$Fe$_2$P$_2$ and Ca$_4$Al$_2$O$_6$Fe$_2$As$_2$ from first principles. Ca$_4$Al$_2$O$_6$Fe$_2$P$_2$ is found to have two hole-like Fermi surfaces around $\Gamma$, and one hole-like Fermi surface around M in the unfolded Brillouin zone. This is in contrast with LaFePO, where no Fermi surface is found around M. The relationship of their band structures and measured transition temperatures of superconductivity is discussed. The number of Fermi surfaces in Ca$_4$Al$_2$O$_6$Fe$_2$P$_2$ is also different from that of Ca$_4$Al$_2$O$_6$Fe$_2$As$_2$, in which only one Fermi surface is formed around $\Gamma$. Analysis using maximally localized Wannier functions clarifies that the differences between their band structures originate mainly from the pnictogen height. We then analyze the alloying effect on the electronic structure of Ca$_4$Al$_2$O$_6$Fe$_2$AsP. It is found that its electronic structure is similar to that of Ca$_4$Al$_2$O$_6$Fe$_2$P$_2$ and Ca$_4$Al$_2$O$_6$Fe$_2$As$_2$ with the average crystal structure, though Ca$_4$Al$_2$O$_6$Fe$_2$AsP contains the pnictogen height disorder. We calculate the generalized susceptibility for Ca$_4$Al$_2$O$_6$Fe$_2$(As$_{1-x}$P$_x$)$_2$ and clarify the factors determining its tendency.
