Don't worry about standover height, focus on top tube length and leg extension. Are you comfortable on the bike or do you feel too upright or cramped? Can you ride comfortably on the hoods and in the drops? Are you getting full leg extension as you pedal?
If you are comfortable on the bike I don't see a problem, and if you want to get stretched out a bit more you might look into swapping your stem for one a bit longer. Its really more about comfort than anything else.
At 5' 10" I would guess that your inseam is in the 30-32" range, so a 21.5" frame should be very close to perfect for you.
