Probably apps with low numbers of sales will be punished in rankings, with low numbers of sales it means your users don't really like you.

Does that mean I can buy my app into the rankings by paying more in commission?

I mean maybe I am being cynical here, but it was implied that developers could just under-report their sales without negative effects, in order to fight that possibility I might suppose that Apple would increase positioning of apps in the Netherlands that reported high sales, under theory that they were 'better'.
