Sorry for the disinformationand thanksfor the correction. It's a weirdly worded alternate cost since it seems that it lets you cast the spell as usual but then after costs are locked in exchanges the mana you pay for it with life.

Can you Exsanguinate for 37 off of the top assuming it is the top card when the Citadel hits?
I'm assuming X spells won't really work, as they can only be cast as their converted mana cost, which would be BB and X would be zero for Exsanguinate. I assume that's how it works, otherwise reminds me of.. Channel + Fireball hehe
EDIT: Igore me, I'm simply dead wrong here.
You are assuming wrong. Bolas's citadel simply lets you cast spells form the top of your library, it does not give the spells an alternative cost to its mana cost like omniscience etc. does. It simply change what you pay for the spell when the spell is "locked in".
I'm not sure what you mean by the spells only being able to be cast as their converted mana cost. The mana cost of exsanguinate changes and while on the stack the mana cost is the "base cost" plus the value for x.
So basically yes, yuo can cast exsanguinate for a lot.
