Doing some investigation, one reason Master Sergeants "get away" with technically being lower rank than Green Lieutenants is that they aren't assigned to the command chain of Green Lieutenants: They report directly to the leader of the unit whose NCO's they lead.
Yeah, I would not give NCO's a limitation on their Rank. They are paid less (base salary, not including bonuses) and in all respects their Rank has less value than even an O-1. However the experience tends to earn them more respect. So they have higher skills in relevant areas and possibly more time to build a reputation.
