Matchmaking in Valorant can sometimes place players with varying ranks in the same game, especially if there are fewer players in the queue or during peak times. Here are a few reasons why you might be experiencing matches with higher-ranked players:
1. Queue Times: To avoid long wait times, the matchmaking system might broaden the rank range of players in a match.
2. MMR: Your Matchmaking Rating (MMR) could be higher than your displayed rank, making the system place you against tougher opponents.
3. Party Restrictions: If players in the lobby are in a party, the system balances the teams around their party MMR, which can sometimes result in noticeable rank disparities.
4. Recent Performance: If you’ve been performing exceptionally well, the system might test you against higher-ranked opponents to reassess your skill level.
For a more balanced experience, try playing during peak hours to increase the chance of finding players closer to your rank.

Keep in mind that that's their last act rank. They could have dropped since then.
Also, as the message explained, there could be a party. If the party has people at the max allowed rank disparity, it could lead to you being chosen to create the same disparity on the other team.
