Are There Any Benefits Of Making A Canonical Of A Niche Down Content Instead Of Those That Are In Broad Topics?

In episode 231 of Semantic Mastery's weekly Hump Day Hangouts, one participant asked if there are any benefits of making a canonical of a niche down content instead of those that are in broad topics.

The exact question was:

Are there any benefits to making a small blog post-canonical over to the same content on a much broader topic page with the jump link to that section being the link in the canonical tag?
