I understand why you'd think that but I think it's actually for the best that both 2nd and 3rd are equal. This is because it sets both teams up to gun for the team in 1st place and allows for the 3rd place team to act as an equalizer of sorts because they gain nothing by dragging the 2nd place team down. On the other hand, if 2nd place did have more, they'd be the most likely team to get double teamed (first place hits them to keep their lead, 3rd place hits them to try and get a bigger reward) and in that way makes the 1st place team's position much solidified.
