Another option you might want to consider (which doesnt involve RQL) If your project is relatively small (say less than 50-100 pages) then perhaps you could use keywords. If you are able to preassign a new keyword (say 'recent updates'') to all pages in your project (there is a plugin you can download and install from the community site which can do this for you) as well as the content classes whereby new pages will be created from.
This will enable you to target any specific (foundation) pages in your site that you want to be listed in the top 5 updated pages list. All you need to do then is create a new page for the top 5 list, apply the keyword to the list placeholder on the page (which will then automatically pull in all the pages in your project) Then apply a sort filter on the list to only show the top 5 pages, sorted by last update date. Another advantage of this keyword method, is that whenever the 'Publish Related Pages Checkbox' is selected - your top 5 list page will automatically be published by the CMS. (so you dont need to worry about any fancy publishing jobs to republish this page.)
