How is this not a hack?

So, I logged on to check my fleet arena standing prior to payout at #1, as I have done so for the last three months. Low and behold, I discovered that I had been unseated for the first time in three months by hangtime23...

Now, I am not above losing to fair competition. I have only been realistically challenged on my (newb) shard by one player who is listed in the photo as Apitiser. He beat me once, last month, before my capital ship hit 7* and I gained even more power in my main 5-ship squad.

Then I logged on to see hangtime23, who is well over 200K power below me, in #1 place.

His total character power is less than my fleet squad power...

So, I ask all of you, how reasonable is it that a player with 142K power unseats a player with 375k in fleet arena power based solely on skill? Obviously, the lesser player's ship does not possess the power to beat such a superior fleet with a 7* capital ship (when his is 5*). Right?

Is this hocus pocus or does it make sense that someone with over less than half my fleet squadron's power can unseat someone vastly superior to his fleet squad?
