Bringing the top down limits the total number of points scored. Raising the bottom boosts the total points without artificially inflating scores. Neither of them is a redistribution of a fixed amount of scoring wealth.
He's talking about the regional win rate - if through some rule change, the #1 alliance started winning 45% of the time, it means the other alliances would gain. There's only 1 regional champion at each event.
