I'm currently trying to build a simple app that lists the top n channels for each category using the YouTube API. The problem I'm currently facing is that I don't know what query would give me the top channels for a given category.

I've already tried using the guideCategories resource to get every channel category. A basic query would give me every category. I would then use the name of each category and use the Search resource (setting q to the name of the category) to get what I think is a list of the top channels. I think I'm doing it wrong though because I've seen several resources like SocialBlade that show a completely different list of channels.

Does anyone have any idea on how I could get closer to the end goal of getting top channels for a specific category?

I don't see any documentation about getting the top channels for specific category. You can only get the top videos within a channel. I've also seen this related SO post which discussed on how to retrieve a list of the most-viewed channels by region.
