Explanation:
This website will give you a clear picture of those aristocratic ranking:

In the dictionaries, you will find Baronet as 从男爵 / 准男爵. I found a website which calls it 次男爵. (http://www.nxdzkj.org/english/fangfa.htm). Just one more alternative.

I don't think it is 第五代 (generation). Maybe a 5th Baronet holds more power than a 6th Baronet (or the other way round). You might like to check with a British.
