While I see your point, and the lower power brackets would work fine in this system, the problem begins in high end of the spectrum. I suppose it's obvious that top players can't have worst environment to play, which is difficult to promise with how spread top powers are.
Issue that I'm addressing here also affects players that are just above 70k power. 60-70k is currently estimate for a "perfect f2p" or low spender power, so on the high end of the spectrum those players would end up in a situation like the one now, being on the bottom, and only beaten up.
Fair fights are a thing that's very difficult to achieve, especially again, on higher power levels, because there is not enough players to fill 100k spots, and even if there were, there are also players stronger than them, so limiting it is bad.
My point to which I'm going is, no matter how this system would be built, there is always going to be a dissatisfied part of the community. Making it into arena style fights would be technically fair, but at the same time, again, top spending players could see it as a punishment compared to what they have now.
I can't really know for sure, but I believe this is just a very difficult situation to get out of, due to the fact that each solution leads to a dead end.
To wrap it up, while I respect all the ideas suggested here, I don't find them to be easily applicable.
It's not for me to decide, thus I will present those ideas to our team, what I'm saying here is my own opinion on the topic.
On the high end, in the giant S14+ LA bracket, players of 60 - 80k are basically fodder for every sage, with no chance of ever winning. There are just too many 100k+ players around, and not all that many between 80 and 100k.
On smaller cross server brackets, in all remaining regions, such issues are much less problematic, as the big players are spread out sufficiently for weaker players to still have a chance of getting rewards.
A lot of these issues would be resolved if there is a fair distribution of brackets like other regions; instead of cramming all servers created in an entire year in the same bracket.

This is what sage results look like in my merged server. Nobody has a chance, so nobody even bothers trying. Most don't even bother to register for it anymore, as participation rewards is the only thing people can ever get. -
