The nerf on BLM but not SMN exactly showing SMN is not dominate at other regions
Summoner did get nerfed in Frontlines. They decreased its damage dealt by 10% and introduced two blanket changes that affect it directly. One you already mentioned and applied to all ranged jobs equally, and the other is that they slowed down the LB gauge recovery, which directly reduces the number of LBs used over the course of a match. While this affects every job, it disproportionally weakens jobs with unbalanced LBs such as (but not only) Summoner.

More fine-grained (ie job-specific) changes to Frontlines will be in the upcoming patches.
