Marc: I know it's been a while since you asked this question, but i didn't
see any reply ... in general the problem is that a "low" boost is stil la
boost, it can only improve the score of documents that match.
one way to fake a "negative boost" is to give a high boost to everything
that does *not* match. This should do what you want...
bq=(*:* -field_a:54^10000)
...I can't remember if "bq" supports pure negative queries yet, if it does
then you can simplify that to bq=-field_a:54^10000
