You're changing the wrong values.
What you have to change are the backspace, topspace, header and footer
values.
\setuplayout
[backspace=5mm,
width=middle,
topspace=5mm,
height=middle,
header=0pt,
footer=0pt]
\showframe[text]
\starttext
\page[dummy]
\stoptext
Can you also use the predefined page layout which sets all values to 0pt
and uses all available space, to get margin increase the backspace and
topspace values.
\setuplayout
[page]
[backspace=5mm,
topspace=5mm]
\setuplayout [page]
\showframe[text]
\starttext
\page[dummy]
\stoptext
Another even short setup is when you use the predefined tight layout
which has a default value of 5mm for all margins.
\setuplayout [tight]
\showframe[text]
\starttext
\page[dummy]
\stoptext
