I have 2 alt accounts in what you call the mid-levels. I didn't bother begging for challenge carries on them, and only did a group/duo if they could complete the solo (which is the way it used to be back in the day - you had to do the solo) They had 500 CPs (not 700)
They broke out dead even with this update (not including the series bonus - which I haven't done on them yet). The only accounts of mine that lost DPS were the AT-1 and AT-2 accounts I use just for carrying people through the early levels and relied on those flat numbers because their actual numbers were pitiful and not going to grow very much in those tiers.
If you had duo and group challenges completed without the solos and that gave you enough CPs for a milestone - yeah you probably lost DPS in the short term. And that's the other key point - the DPS you lost is a short term loss. You will grow to the point where the percent system gives you the same as you would have had before and then you will get more DPS than the flat system got. So short-term loss (where you shouldn't have really had the bonus to begin with) for a long term gain.
