The following should fit your needs:
In[1]:=
lst = Table[Random[Integer, {i, 50}], {i, 6}]

Out[1]=
{33, 13, 28, 17, 15, 24}

In[2]:=
pairs = DeleteCases[Flatten[Outer[List, lst, lst], 1], {x_, x_}]

Out[2]=
{{33, 13}, {33, 28}, {33, 17}, {33, 15}, {33, 24}, {13, 33}, {13, 28}, 
{13, 17}, {13, 15}, {13, 24}, {28, 33}, {28, 13}, {28, 17},
   {28, 15}, {28, 24}, {17, 33}, {17, 13}, {17, 28}, {17, 15}, {17, 24}, 
{15, 33}, {15, 13}, {15, 28}, {15, 17}, {15, 24}, {24, 33},
   {24, 13}, {24, 28}, {24, 17}, {24, 15}}

In[3]:=
(If[Mod[#1[[1]]^2 + #1[[2]]^2, 5] == 0, {False, #1}, True] & ) /@ pairs

Out[3]=
{True, True, True, True, {False, {33, 24}}, True, True, True, True, 
{False, {13, 24}}, True, True, True, True, {False, {28, 24}}, True,
   True, True, True, {False, {17, 24}}, True, True, True, True, True, 
{False, {24, 33}}, {False, {24, 13}}, {False, {24, 28}},
   {False, {24, 17}}, True}

or if you are interested in the first pair only

In[4]:=
pos = Position[pairs, {x_, y_} /; Mod[x^2 + y^2, 5] == 0, 1, 1]

Out[4]=
{{5}}

In[5]:=
If[Length[pos] > 0, {False, Extract[pairs, pos][[1]]}, True]

Out[5]=
{False, {33, 24}}
