Momentum doesn't really work this way. The only things that change the difficulty of deflecting something are it's mass, and the remaining time to impact.
Having a lot of momentum doesn't change how much force is required to give something a given acceleration until relativistic effects start to matter.
(I guess distance also makes it harder, because you need to travel further to start deflection, but that's not really a momentum thing)
