For example, one -r5 ebuild had the Xorg modular deps included in it, while the -r4 did not. So it also affects your own system and how it interacts with portage. I suggest you use -l flag with emerge, or head/cat the Changelog inside the ebuild which is asked to upgrade to -rX and see if it is important or not before thinking of masking all the -rX updates.
