Ya. Fluff and I were talking about it in chat yesterday.
Previously I was just about always getting L11 drops @Silk when farming with my L10 and couldn't figure out why until one time I decided to clear the level instead of my usually quasi-rush and got a L10. I ended up leveling a character up to L8 just to make sure my drops were L10.
Fluff and I had a couple theories that it was either related to time or number of enemies killed. It dawned on me when Fluff mentioned that he knew he wouldn't get a low drop in his L45 farming group if the boss' threat level was yellow.
I always noticed when leveling my 2nd and 3rd chars when mobs would change threat levels in a run, but never really thought about it much.
Long story shorter, I later verified that (when doing solo) my L10 gets L10 drops vs Silk as long as I get to her after the threat level goes down once there were 23 enemies left. (or was it 22 or 24? It's somewhere around there)
