I imagine threat level might/can come into play in Fetid where a farming group would typically just go straight to Noxious, which could/would cause a L51 group to drop a higher level item. Very similar to a L10 group dropping L11 items in DF1 if they don't clear enough. I haven't been in a L50/51-only Fetid run in a long time, so this is just a guess. It should be pretty easy to see where the clearing cut-off would be, if there is one, for Fetid.
