That would be a gross misuse - an abuse - of the MAYDAY call. You are

You're in a remote area, you're high enough to make a radio call, but
don't know how much lower you can be and still communicate, so you
want to notify *someone* of your predicament.

So you tune 121.5 and say...????

An interesting question, particularly if you can't confirm that you're
OK (or not) after landing. However, since you are not in any immediate
danger, neither mayday nor pan-pan would be appropriate. On the whole
you are probably best to keep quiet and activate your emergency
locator if necessary.
