Surely when you claim a draw by five fold repetition, couldn’t you have been able to claim the draw when three fold repetition happened?
If you mean OTB, it's possible for the players to miss it and if they do there wouldn't be a claim. five-fold would be something that would likely be something an arbiter is looking for when it isn't otherwise claimed.
