No. A>B>C logic almost NEVER works when it comes to the Narutoverse. There are a large multitude of unknown variables when it comes to characters, that you cannot use this kind of logic. For example, there is a very fine line between characters defeating characters and characters that NEED to defeat characters. For example: Naruto vs Pain. Anyone with common sense and logic would agree that Pain would have defeated Naruto, however because Naruto HAD to win the fight (other wise the show would have stopped there) many factors were placed to ensure Naruto won (Hinata, Kurama bursting, etc.).
Then theres the matter of characters intentionally loosing because of the circumstances. Examples include Itachi vs Sasuke (Itachi was dying anyway, so he CHOSE to die infront of Sasuke instead of killing him) and again, Naruto vs Pain (Pain needed Naruto alive, thus did not kill him when he had Naruto pinned down). The list is rather extensive in this case.
If A>B>C logic TRULY worked here, then what you are essentially saying is this: Sasuke>Naruto>Pain, because if Sasuke beat Naruto in part 1 then he shall remain better than Naruto, and since Naruto beat Pain, Sasuke would win in a fight against Pain. This logic does NOT APPLY to Naruto. There are no exceptions to A>B>C logic, it either applies or it doesnt apply. It does not apply here.
