Hey, just to complicate matters further, some vampires like Crowley were hiding the extent of their true strength. Ferid has pretended to be defeated since he has other plans at hand XD Whilst Ky Luc may not have any reason to feign a defeat, and his rank is likely accurate, even if Ferid and Crowley were fighting unrestrained it is unlikely that they could directly overcome him head on. There is a large difference in capabilities between vampire ranks, and even the same ones can have varied strengths. Having said that, it is possible to indirectly have an advantage. By using Crowley as a distraction, Ferid could surprise attack and beat third progenitor Krul Tepes for example.

In short vampire ranks (the true ones) count for a lot, but anyone can be surprised and accordingly be at a serious disadvantage (or react even quicker to surprises as Lucal Wesker did).

Also this is on your message wall yet both the Forum and Discussions are best to ask any questions since more people will able to see then and learn and add further details!
