So a few months ago, when Dragon Irene was scaled above DF Wendy, many people (including myself) supported a downgrade of DF Wendy from 5.52 yottatons to 2.7 yottatons in order to prevent a breaking of scaling since not doing so would mean that Gildarts scaled above a Misaki who was directly scaled to him.
However, after looking over the previous CRT, the scaling, and the Labyrinth Arc as a whole, I believe that Misaki and Kirin scaling >= Abyss Art is actually supported in story.
First off, Kirin is stated to be a contender for the strongest member of Diabolos, while Laxus is stated to be a contender for the strongest member of Fairy Tail twice. This narrative portrayal alone at least somewhat implies that Kirin is above Suzaku's Abyss Art, especially considering that Selene only remarked that the DDSK being on Abyss Art Suzaku's level was frightening after stating that it was only Suzaku's Abyss Art that was superior to her human form. Thus, when Selene says that Kirin is possibly the strongest Diabolos member, she is likely including Abyss Art considering how she previously complemented and remarked on Abyss Art's power.
She then proceeds to say that the 4 DDSK together had a good chance of defeating the other 2 DG's alongside her, despite saying that Suzaku on his own stood no chance against her Dragon form, which is a good support.
Now, the only 2 of the other 3 DDSK who scale to this are Kirin and Misaki, while Haku remains the same. This is because both Kirin and Misaki were hyped up in-story by both being compared to Gildarts and Laxus, while Suzaku was never hyped up in the Dogramag arc to that level by Natsu or the narrative.
Support for Laxus scaling to Base Suzaku is how Gray and Lucy feel safer with him on their side after hearing that they'll have to fight Diabolos, despite knowing Base Suzaku's power, and how Madmole called his base a "monster" and told Kirin to be wary of him despite having a relative sense of the power level of people on Suzaku's level.
Base Erza downscales due to her Sea Armor clashing with Misaki's swords, and Base Laxus is 2.7 yottatons due to downscaling and being implied to be on Suzaku's level in Base.
Also, DSM Gray should be baseline 5-A for at least being willing to fight Misaki despite seeing her initially overpower Erza.
However, I think Jellal should only scale to Base Laxus and not RLDM Laxus, since a brainwashed Laxus didn't consider using RLDM against a brainwashed Jellal when the 2 were about to fight when the latter defended Erza, and only went RLDM against Erza herself when she was pressuring and hurting his base.
2. We currently scale Madmole's durability to FDKM Natsu. However, considering how Natsu's FDKM overpowered his durability in their 2nd encounter, and considering how Base Laxus, who FDKM Natsu is comparable to, easily took him out and badly damaged him with a few punches off-screen, this is invalid.
So unless we want to downgrade Pre-Elentear FDKM Natsu, Madmole's durability should probably scale to being >= Kiria's full-power durability
3. Kiria should downscale to Baseline 5-B+ in AP and durability. She took hits from Laxus and, while defeated, was not terribly injured by them, and she somewhat matched CHC Erza and was only one-shot by Erza using Dragon Slayer Magic Sword enchantments (and even then that didn't do much to her). And I doubt Erza was being casual against Kiria considering she was pissed at Kiria for torturing her.
In short:
5.52 yottatons: DF Wendy, Dragon Irene, August's Battle Form, X792/3 Gildarts, Kirin, Misaki, RLDM Laxus, SA Erza, Pre-Elentear Enchantments Erza
2.7 yottatons: Base Erza, Base Laxus, DSM Gray, Pre-Elentear SA Erza, Lucy's Gottfried, DSM Gray, Pre-Elentear, Jellal (is the same as before), Pre-Elentear FDKM Natsu, Haku and Suzaku (are the same as before)
1.38 yottatons: Base Wendy, Kiria, Madmole's durability
