Completely acceptable to install a larger capacity receptacle on your circuit.
I hope you are talking correctly that you are running a four wire (neutral, hot, hot, ground) circuit to a 50 amp receptacle protected by a double pole 30 amp breaker.
OP Is this your plan? If so you're installing a 120/240V 30A 4 wire 3 pole circuit with a 50A plug. Anything else not so good.
That is exactly what I propose to do.
Give me a break!
The cost of a 30A two pole breaker and a 50A two pole breaker is very little. The cost DIFFERENCE is not enough to worry about with 30A to 50A wire. Do it right!
So the poor slob that may buy your house in the future rightfully thinking there is a real 50A plug will be screwed.
Sorry but this sort of thing is half AZZ!
