No, it's just that Urie has become stronger, since the auction raid. He's been training like crazy. After releasing his frames, he was able to momentarily overwhelm Big Madam, even if lost control. But now after the timeskip, he become even stronger through training hard. Hakatori might be an S rank (lower Tier, though) but he didn't stand a chance against the New Urie.

Being Tatara's direct subordinate, Hakatori is definitely S ranked, even if a minor one.
