I think I know where you're getting at. Eobard does seem to have some psychopathic/sociopathic tendencies; so it could be possibly that he was discouraging him to stop him from doing something stupid to secure himself in the future. (Which ended up happening anyway)

If Eddie is said to be a distant ancestor, then why does Eobard begin to fade once Eddie shoots himself? If he were a direct ancestor, like a great-great-great-great-grandfater, I'd totally understand. But Eobard repeatedly disses him; acting and treating him like he's a distant cousin you see only once at family reunions.
