Once your Renown with a faction reaches 5 you can't use the Carnival options anymore. Favours may go up and down, but Renown can never drop (one exception - Seeking the Name storyline).

It's just inconsistent in that some options in the carnival are hidden once the Renown is too high, and some are still visible, yet locked. Regardless of this inconsistency, the effective result is the same - the carnival can only be used to get Favours/Renown until Renown reaches 5. After that, the Carnival is useless for interacting with that faction.
