It is likely related to that. However, I believe I started the game in the middle of the recent gift-giving event and got to top rank in my union. (Sparrow Knight during that season; not sure why...) After the event was over, I got promoted to Owl Knight. Old members who had only participated in the previous raid event (before Gift of Magic) were brought down a rank or two, I believe. From the previous rankings, it seems the two highest ranks were promoted to Owl (both totally new accounts; one being me), next two Shrike, then Crow, etc. Some people did leave the union between the last event and this one, so there are probably a few people missing. I believe the highest rank during Gift of Magic was Shrike, however. So perhaps it takes the current highest rank and adds one to it for whoever comes out on top?

... Also, on a side note, my union is horribly inactive. That's what I get for staying in my public union from the start of the game. xD It's almost impossible to get an attack bonus of, like, 40%. Therefore all-out attacks all day. xD If you're really interested, the name's War and Pies.
