Skewers aren't really under any force unless someone is pulling on the wheel itself (or a front disc brake, maybe,) so they really only need enough torque to keep from slipping in the dropouts.
I found information that Max torque for your skewers is 6 Nm, so 5 Nm sounds fine. Mine are steel/ aluminium, but I believe it does not matter when we are talking about safe torque to keep wheel in the dropouts.
