so to answer your question, yes. i'd want a greater pot equity advantage than 55/45 to call this flop because only assessing our current pot equity in a vacuum doesn't really address the EV of our ranges/positions/stack sizes playing out on different runouts. the only time when our actual pot equity on a given street is our SOLE consideration is when we are facing an all-in or are deciding to call/fold vs a river bet which closes the action.
in this particular spot, i'm more inclined to emphasise the position/initiative advantages of the 4 traditional "types" of advantage (which i understand to be: card advantage (equity), skill advantage (liability of each player to make mistakes), positional advantage (self explanatory), and initiative advantage (like position, tends to give you more control over what happens in the hand - you have more options)
