I think the way it works is that you can fight anyone at any level, but everyone you face, has shaved stats to match your highest level. Then again, that is just my speculation/ observation. I could be 100% wrong.

I only think this, because I have played against people in my guild or friends in arena and they have the same armors, but they are much lower levels. That is why I assume they shave stats to match your own.
