At what point do the matches with other populations become a lot less significant. After the top 5? The top 10?

I know it is a gradient so each sequential match is less meaningful but as a whole where do you consider the cut-off point to be in terms of overall significance?

I could be wrong but i generally think after top 5 a bit less significant and after 10 considerably less but also think this can depend on distances also.

I go by distance 5 or under and distance 10 or under.
