Looks like a bug (the problem ist the setting of 'xpd').

What you can do is:
At first substract 50 from your data, then add the axis manually:

 x <-  seq(50,100,10) 	# your data
 xn <- x - 50		# substract 50
 barplot(xn, yaxt="n")  # no axis (would be wrong)
 axis(2, at=0:5 * 10, labels=5:10 * 10) # so adding it manually
