The ratings don't refer to strength, they refer to potential danger to human society. That's why Torso was an A even though he was one of the weakest named ghouls we've seen - his psychosis and ability to slip around unseen made him a much greater threat than if he was just running around eating people like every other ghoul.

Kaneki will obvs go up in rating after this arc. Hinami hasn't eaten and has been in Cochlea for months, she's severely weakened and was still able to block Higher Mind (even Mougan was like "whoooa dude"), but she was also rated based on her Aogiri affiliation, and Ayato's been shown to be at about Juuzou's level, is also affiliated with Aogiri, and has been masquerading as Rabbit, thereby taking credit for killing Mado.

Shachi was rated on pure badassery, tho.
