On balance there'll be some help from P who is likely to have found it difficult to act over 4♠. Assuming LHO doesn't have an outside ace for the bid in 1st seat, but has ♠A, there are 3 missing Aces, which could be distributed any way between P and RHO.
That's 8 permutations with roughly equal chance. We can mostly eliminate the one where P has 3 Aces, as they should be able to act over 4♠ with this. But with 2 aces, unless holding a really good ♦ suit, they probably can't. So in 3/7 cases 5♥ should have very good chances, and only in 1/7 is it going 2 off. Then there are other possibilities on top mentioned above by others. Whether that makes it a better than 50% action is a good question
