i dont think arena match you with someone close to your power.. its like they match you with people who has the same arena points as you (example is if you have 32 rank points you get match with people who has 31-33 rank points).. thats why some people doesnt get match quickly despite the cross server being implemented, its simply because no one who has the same rank point as you or near it is queing..
i did some test on this.. wasnt to extensive thou so i might be wrong. would be better if we get a clarification from a mod about this :P

of course this is the idea behind this since the system is progressive.. the more you progress the harder it gets.. its just common for stronger people to have higher rank points so the higher your rank points go the stronger your opponent will get..

thats because youre trying to get to the highest rank really fast.. the reason why they put in seasons is so you can spend your time climbing up the ladder.. you dont go and win 1 match then que up expecting to be matched with a person similar to the last guy you beat.. of course whats waiting for you will be much stronger opponents. unless your someone who has over 70k power then yes you would be sweeping through everyone and reaching six paths in just a matter of hours.. but if thats not the case then you need to take your time..
