I guess there really isn't much of a difference between A5 and AK in this spot. I think AK was one of the hands he's putting me on - and with raising that much, he seems confident he's either ahead (or feels like he can move me off the hand).
I agree with your assessment and I think folding the majority of the time is the correct play.
Some players are good at reading a situation like this, knowing that they can move you off AQ/AK or force you to bet your entire stack, and that only the CO can reasonably call the x/r if you and UTG+4 both fold - and only do it with a draw. So he would at worst have a hand that is behind yours but is ahead of all draws. If he is this kind of player, then there's an argument to be made for occasionally reshoving.
Did he show?
