Because when number of creature increase by 50%, that is +1 EL. And a 5 men party is in between a 4 men party and a 6 men party.Think like this. A 5-men party of 4th-level characters are like a pary of 4.5th-level characters. A 6-men party of 4th-level characters are like a party of 5th-level characters.In case of an encounter against a bunch of weaker opponents, just increase their number accordingly. I mean, if there was 8 goblins, use 10 goblins for a 5-men party, and use 12 goblins for a 6-men party.In case of single (or smaller number of) strong opponent, advance it and increase the CR by 1 for a 6-men party. In case of 5-men party, either advance it slightly (how about adding a level of non-associated class?) or add a lesser creature.But anyway, making an appropriate encounter is better done through DMs own determination and test-play. Calculation is just a calculation and not perfect. It was so in previous editions, too.</blockquote>
