This is the real meta, and it needs a nerf

1. Reduce rewards, allows way more top finishes by my suggestions below and doesn't break the "economies"
2. Get rid of tiered rankings for awards. Keep the ranks and rank swapping just to keep more equal teams near each other but being a certain rank at a specific 1 second time means nothing for payout.
3. Make payout reward tiers equal to winning x number of arena battles between resets vs x ranked opponents. Example win 4 battles vs top 10 teams and you get maxed payout. Win 3 vs top 10 opponents you get next tier of payout.

Until they get rid of being a specific rank for that one moment in time lockouts will always be a part of arena.

Reduced rewards..?

No one would bother with arena if the rewards were any less. I know I wouldn't.

You think they are really going to hand out more 1st place rewards then they currently do and keep the payments the same??? If so keep deaming. If the number of possible 1st place finishes goes up beyond the current 24 then the payout will go down to keep it average out to the same.

I would be fine with reduced rewards to give up being summoned to my phone on 1755/1855 daily.

well, potentially there could be 1440 #1 rewards on a leaderboard each day. (in the current system)

How so? Unless I am missing something.
1 payout every hour.
24 hours in a day.

it's not every hour, it's at 6 o'clock on the device the game is installed on. Granted, most people don't mess with the clock on their device, so the 1440 (for every minute) is a rather large exaggeration. However some timezones are "off" half an hour, like india for example.
If i knew what i know now, i would have tempered with my clock a bit that's for sure.
