Per the rules linked on an earlier post, the WC (Wrestler A) gets 40,000 and another 10,000 for Continental championships for a total of 50,000. Wrestler B hypothetically gets 32,000 for 2nd at WC and another 10,000 for Continental (different continent) for a total of 42,000. One ranking series win at 8,000 ties him for #1 and a second ranking series win puts him ahead. Last year there were 4 ranking series tourneys. So, there is an incentive to do the ranking series tourneys if you care about seeds. Granted, some wrestlers like Sad don't care about seeds. There's a lot of scenarios like this. Even a guy with a 9th place in the WC can eclipse 50,000.
