That's my reasoning also, but logic and comic books (especially DC comic books [and I'm a big GL fan, so I just accept it and keep reading]) don't always go hand in hand.
Lucifer and Michael are ranked as more powerful beings than Spectre in DC, but Spectre's purpose is to embody the Wrath of God (before God cot capped by Saint of Killers [don't ask how it's possible to kill God]).
Now, if you are "GOD'S Wrath", is there really anything more powerful than you? If your sole purpose is carrying out God's anger/vengence, you should be able to mop up anyone below God, right?
Or would Lucifer and Michael, who are supposed to be more powerful than Spectre, be able to defeat him, even though they are below God and Spectre is God's Wrath?
(And no, that's not a paradox, that's a DC character plot).
