This has to be a based on a mixed matrix involving more than just the 4 players I can see.
There are 8 players in your group and rewards are based on how many rounds you win. That’s it. If you go 2-1 you get the rewards for the 2nd-4th bracket. Whether the game calls you 2nd or 4th (which is just another tie broken by GP) is irrelevant because the rewards are identical.
