The problem with "highest rank reached" is everybody in the top tier could spend 3-4 battles with their best squad battling up to #1 and then set a blue gear defense squad. It'd be even more exploitable. As you climb you just make sure you don't run into somebody else climbing-fight somebody with blue gear. Now you say what happens when a lone sniper comes along? Well this kind of payout system would allow even more people to collude for more rewards, so therefore you have a larger force to say "fight X player" so that they wouldn't even have a chance to get to #1 because they would be brought so far down.
The "average rank" and only one payout seem ok, but I'm sure its not beyond exploit. The thing about these types of exploits is to remember that game developers don't always have an "intended" design for the game or certain aspects, rather they create a system and allow the players to find the best way to use it for their own advantage (against each other, in this case.) Sometimes they see something as being abusive, and it gets labeled as an exploit and patched, and other times they see it being used in a way that wasn't intended but does not bother them or seem like cheating.
In some ways, metas are the same way. While the zMaul lead dominates right now, the most common 5-man squad is Rex · GK · Chirrut · Baze · Darth Nihilus. I doubt the developers intended one of the top synergies to consist of a Clone Wars Clone and General, two R1 characters, and a sith lord who reigned thousands of years before....but people found it to be a strong squad and will utilize it as such. This doesn't automatically make it cheating, but it does mean the boundaries of the game are pushed to the limit.
This leaves you with four options:
1. Complain about it and keep playing the way you think is "fair". (Its a video game, so don't get too moral about it...)
2. Follow the crowd once the meta is established. (Super boring, but you can compete.)
3. Push the limits yourself and try to either predict the next meta or find this meta's downfall.
4. Quit and play something more predictable. Don't look for PvP, because people will always "exploit" or find whatever way they can to push the limit.
