I guess that's one interpretation. But the gap between Barry and Zoom was much bigger when compared to Barry and Eobard.

Barry was able to beat the younger Eobard time remnant with ease. (Now I know you're going to say Wellsobard was faster, but there's still reasoning for me bringing it up). This Eobard, was the one who went back and killed Nora Allen as well as the one that Future Flash fought against. Future Flash was much faster than Barry back in season 1, but season 2 Barry had quite narrowed the gap between them.

Now we take this season 2 Barry and see just how badly Zoom stomped him prior to Barry's journey to the center of the Speed Force.

While Wellsobard was faster than Barry, him beating Barry every fight was also attributed to being a more experience speedster. Once Barry learned more tricks, he was able to even the playing field. But Zoom was just monstrously fast from the getgo, and he kept amping up his power with velocity followed by stealing Barry's speed.

So IMO, Zoom is well above RF.
