Short answer, if you use Next/Prev with FlipFocus you will never be
able to switch between more than 2 last windows. Think about this.
You want a way to skip some windows, i.e. advance to them without focusing
and raising them and only focus/raise the last selected window.
This is exactly what WindowList does, so just use it with needed options.

Maybe you will find the FvwmProxy module (the name will be changed) in
2.5.5 useful to you. But to do what you want you should also use a new
"Key -Meta_L" functionlaty (execute command on key release) and this new
functionality is likely to be removed, since it does not work well.
