Class F and Class G are gonna get screwed over. Everyone else, no.
The way I'm reading the information in the OP is that this is just one-upping in a quest to get something nice. I'm not burning this person's house down or having sex with his wife or anything.
It's like on The Price Is Right when you bid $1 over the previous contestant. It's legal, it happens all the time, and if you didn't do it, somebody else would. It's a screw over, yes, but I'm not necessarily doing harm to this person to favor my Class A friend.
So if my occasional acquaintance that I see in the hall on Tuesdays doesn't like it, that's just too bad. I didn't do anything wrong. About the worst thing that can happen is they unfriend me on Facebook, in which case they were probably one of those friends I had who posts chains of stuff like "LIKE AND SHARE THIS STATUS IF YOU VALUE HUMAN LIFE." They probably wouldn't have survived the next friend purge anyway.
