I think it's still an issue
If there is no spinner or just more than one player gets the same score, the first to achieve the score is the top one. And should be.
Also, when you play the game, there should be that very top person shown on the top of the leaderboards.
However, sometimes a bug occurs and instead the last person to achieve is shown on the leaderboards, like here

https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/6574810I saw this bug both on CuttingEnde and Beta, no idea about other releases.
For a moment I thought that it can be related to having someone in friends, thus game forcing player on the top of leaderboards (which would be a little ridiculous, as most of people adds top players to the friends and... why would someone want to always see a friend on the top of leaderboards, instead of the person that legitimately deserves it for being first, anyway? Well, I bet some people would like, but not in general, while talking about the community as a whole. There is friends rankings for that...)
Nevertheless, I tried this idea, deleted some people from friends to test it, waited quite a moment, re-logged, restarted the game, changed game release etc., but nothing changed. The person is still on the very top of leaderboards, while playing the game, despite of not being first on the leaderboards.
