I checked MLB, and they do have a procedure for a 4-way tie for the last WC spot, but none listed for 5 or 6 teams.
For 4 teams, they basically split the teams in pairs with the winners advancing to play the other winner.
For 5 or 6, I imagine the top 1 or 2 teams by tiebreaker formula would get a bye and play the prior winners, then those winners play each other.
No matter what, it would be a fun bunch of cluster**** chaos.
