No, there are not.
This was correct before the updated list - I'll get around to updating, but it's directionally correct (e.g the M5 to 5 cell is 6, should now be 9). I did check this specific criteria (<Cat 5 going to Cat 5 or higher) and there still are none.
Old categories across the top, new down the left.
