Actually, with the introduction of the Guild Event, free players can possibly catch up to Cash players, eventually. They just need tons of luck, is all :x

But I do agree that the current model heavily skew the favour to the cash players. While Free Player can reach 5k rankings in any event, it is nearly impossible to climb any higher than that. At the same time though, I feel like closing the gaps would remove the motivation to spend cash in the first place.

Changing the entire gameplay would take TON of time, experiment and resources. While I think your idea is decent, Zynga will need to introduce many other changes in order to keep both sides happy... which I doubt (Silk Road, The Princess [Halloween]). Soon we're going to get Greatly Increase All + Very High Trigger...
