Is this a conscious choice by the GEM team? Shouldn't Swiss events pair top down, rather than bottom up? It feels like it cheapens the event somewhat to have it the other way around.
You are making assumptions. I would have to know a lot more about the entire event to describe the reasons behind that pairing. Typically, especially in an event this small, there is more going on than the single match of interest. Perhaps you should ask your retailer to send in a support request with the complete final backup if the retailer is unsure.
