You are referring of course to
8.52
If the opponent is unrated, then the rating is determined at the end of the event. This applies only to round-robin tournaments. In the Swiss tournaments the games against unrated opponents are not rated
Simple answer for this is all players will play the ungraded player so they will have a consistent grade at the end of the apa with respect to the players in it. For a swiss, the final grade would be determined by whom they would get in the draw.
Is it unfair? I can see it both is and isn´t
