Playing 1-2 No Limit and an early position player opens for $15. He gets five callers including myself. I'm holding Kc Qc. There's $75 in the pot and the Flop comes 8c 9c 5h. The raiser goes all in for $92. Was calling with this flush draw correct?

Logic: The early position player who opened for $15 has been raising alot pre-flop a then betting big on the flop when no overcards turn up. This happened about four times within a ten hand span. After he went all-in on the Flop, I was pretty sure no one else would call and we would be heads up. I called thinking I had 15 outs; the nine outs for the flush plus 6 more outs for my overcards. I put him on pocket Jacks or pocket tens. I knew I was'nt getting pot odds or implied odds, but if my read on him was correct, I would have a 54% chance to draw out on him. I'm calling $92 to win $167 with a better than 50% chance of winning. Pot Odds don't justify the call but my pot equity was greater than 50%. Which is more important? As it turned out he had pocket tens, and I didn't hit any of my outs.
