The -top argument is being passed when we're using a version smaller than 1.6.
Then the following warning is generated:

"[WARNING] -top option is not supported on Java version < 1.6. Ignore this option."

This warning shouldn't be thrown since we're not setting the -top parameter in the POM, so there's no way to ignore it.
On AbstractJavadocMojo.java, line 1492, the following method is called:

addArgIfNotEmpty( arguments, "-top", JavadocUtil.quotedArgument( top ), false, false, SINCE_JAVADOC_1_6 );

however, this method checks the version first, and then checks if the argument is null, like the following:

      if ( isJavaDocVersionAtLeast( requiredJavaVersion ) ) 
        {
            addArgIfNotEmpty( arguments, key, value, repeatKey, splitValue );
        }
        else
        {
            if ( getLog().isWarnEnabled() )
            {
                getLog().warn( key + " option is not supported on Java version < " + requiredJavaVersion
                               + ". Ignore this option." );
            }
        }
}}

Specifically for this command line argument, the method should check the version before calling addArgIfNotEmpty, thus removing the warning if we're not explicitly passing the argument in a jdk < 1.6
