Jumped directly from Diamond 1 to Uru in BG.

Something happened in BG and when I won last fight in diamond 1 I jumped directly to Uru. It showed vibranium for 1 second and now Uru.
Tried restarting a few times but it remains. Is it safe to play or can it be considered an exploit?

My alliance mate got this (se picture)
But I didn’t. I skipped all five medals in vibranium and are now in GC without having to play Vibranium.
Think you’re misunderstanding se above post.
When you are "in" Diamond 1, that means the last track you completed was Diamond 1. That means there's just one track to go. Whatever you call that last track, it is the track with five medals required and whose finish line is Vibranium. Some people call this track Vibranium, some call it Diamond 1, but either way at some point when you earn five medals in this track, again, for a brief instant you are in Diamond 1 with five medals. But the game instantly promotes you to Vibranium. However, that's it. That's the end of VT. So the game then moves you into GC.
So at the end of the VT bracket you will go from Diamond 1 with four medals, to Diamond 1 with five medals, then instantly jump to Vibranium with zero medals, then instantly jump to GC, all in one burst.
So needed to make sure.
The landmark interpretation says you are where ever you last reached. So if you're last promotion was to Gold 2, you're in Gold 2. But the "punchcard" interpretation says you are whatever you are working on/towards. So if your last promotion was to Gold 2 then you are currently working on the Gold 1 punchcard.
It isn't a trivial thing to simply declare one interpretation over the other as the "right" one obviously, because the game mode itself doesn't do things in a consistent way if you believe either one is the sole proper interpretation. The glitch that shows even Kabam was a little fuzzy on this is the point in VT you would call "Platinum 1." When you promote to Platinum 1, the next track requires three medals because the requirements for Diamond go three, three, four. However, the mnumber of medals you get for victory is still two, because your last promotion was Platinum 1 and the medals are two for one "through Platinum." So we get an interesting glitch where the number of medals per win remains two, but the amount you need for promotion drops from five to three. Which is strange, but that's because the two interpretations are colliding here. Medals per win is using the landmark interpretation, while costs per promotion is using the "punchcard" interpretation, and they overlap at Platinum 1/Diamond 3.
I’m not doubting anything you’re saying but have a follow up question.
When my mate hit Vibranium he got this emote as a reward.
I never got that as a reward. It’s not in my inventory and can’t be used in battlegrounds. Why is this?
Go into the profile where you set your pic and you'll see "Equip Emotes". It will be there.
