Arena - mechanics of ranking?

Hello evreyone,
Though I have searched the forum for an answer, I couldn't find one, so I adress this question now to you:

How exactly does ranking work? If I'm rank 89 and challenge someone at 84, then subsequently I will take over rank 84, that's for sure. But do we simply exchange positions without affecting anyone else or do I get his rank and everyone else from position 84-88 loses one rank (including him)?

Another question more about the divisions you can be in: I started around christmas, so ain't really one of the early birds in arena. But since now, the first ranks are not even lvl 60, neither am I (53). Is it kind of luck, that I got a more or less fresh and new "server" or does it always start this way?

Thanks everyone, enjoy the game!
