I think you may be on to something, but you'd have to do it in the opposite order. After the market has settled, top 5% of contracts are type A next 10% are type B otherwise GMs would manipulate the system now. However, you wouldn't know if you were bidding on a compensated player until after the fact, but I'd imagine the surprises would be limited to the final 1 or 2 per cent of Type B's.
