Had to solve this differently than I might have on Desktop, this is exactly the reason why doing cloud challenges is so good!

Had to use a little help from spoiler, go it (3)  😊 

Also, figured out using tile (3.2)

 Here is the workflow I created for a solution.

Interesting that the tile tool doesn't rank like it does in Designer. For example, I have my rows sorted in a descending order, based on a column. I select "unique value" on that column, using the tile tool. It then returns the ranks but in reverse order i.e. largest rank assigned to the first row it sees.

I might have done this slightly differently in Designer, but a simple one nonetheless.

I simply created a grouping of unique values and gave them a RowID (Rank) sorting by Value Descending, so the highest value is the lowest ranking number. I then sampled the first 5 ranks.
I then joined these values back to the primary stream and sorted accordingly.
