Google’s John Mueller said there is no rule that a page has to rank in the top ten search result positions for it to be considered eligible for a featured snippet position.
The question was asked by Shubham Davey who wrote “if a page isn’t ranking in the top 10 on SERPs, are those pages eligible for featured snippets?”
John Mueller replied on Twitter, “I don’t think there’s any hard rule like that; that would be weird.”
Here are those tweets:
@dannysullivan, What happens before a page starts ranking for featured snippets? Do they rank on page #1 first & then move to position 0?
Or pages from any position (even page #2 & beyond) on SERPs can rank for featured snippets?

I didn’t read the link, but I don’t think there’s any hard rule like that; that would be weird.

Pete Meyers from Moz also added his thoughts:
I did a study to try to replicate this after, but it’s 1-1/2 years old and involved measuring something we can’t observe without connecting SERPs across days (i.e. it’s complicated) — https://t.co/kLAei9CdGU

While it doesn’t have to be the case where a featured snippet must be from a page that would rank well, it probably is mostly the case.
Forum discussion at Twitter.
We all want to be satisfied, even though we know some people who will never be that way, and others who see satisfaction as a foreign emotion that they can’t hope to ever feel.
