Well, he already holds the #4 position in leadership, so four rungs isn't possible. But that's just quibbling.

I didn’t mean it literally, I meant in in the context of those who pull the strings and have the levers of power in deciding future candidacies, if the monied people who have so much control of the political process, and perhaps peripherally gives lower level party activists across the country who might have been meh about him to sit up and take notice.

It doesn’t guarantee anything, obviously, but as i say “it’s not nothing”.
