In any selection framework involving a salary cap, salary comparisons should be normalized for geographic location for a fairer comparison. For example, have some kind of a formula that provides a multiplier for each state, derived using median wage data, cost of living, etc.

No it shouldn't. Top N thousand by salary should be admitted, the rest -- rejected. How are you going to enforce your "geographic location" once the worker is here? We can't even enforce our borders let alone movement of people once they're in the country.
