Sprocket Confusion

I have a Baja Warrior that I want to slow down the top end in favor of more low-end torque. It has a 17T jackshaft output and a 50T rear sprocket. Will a 60T rear sprocket help?

If enough of different jackshaft sprockets are available you shouldn't need to change the rear sprocket for a gearing change. They can be double the cost of a jackshaft sprocket. The jackshaft's driven sprocket would be the one to change.

So the jackshaft driven sprocket would have to be smaller to gear the bike down, correct?
What exactly are you currently running? What tooth clutch, to what tooth driven? And do you really have a 17 tooth to a 50 tooth? With those numbers it's much easier to understand what you would need for more low end versus what you are currently running.
