1.) The relic didn't materialize from "defeating the elementals."

2.) The only info we get about how the Exceed are ranked is "their inherent connection to the source of magic." In other words, the more "magical" the race is (as a whole), the higher they are in the rankings. Elementals are the source of magic itself, while the Old Deus and Phantasma are concious manifestations of magic. Maybe that's why their higher in the rankings.

The Suniaster (Astral Grail) will appear to the "greatest force in the world."

Riku understood that even if a winner was decided in the Great War, the Suniaster wouldn't materialize. The reason for this is quite simple, actually.

Shwi confirmed that the Old Deus are "born from this world." Meaning they are mere "fragments/pieces" of the world's own power. So even the power of all the Old Deus and their creations put together wouldn't be greater than the world's.

So the only way to obtain the Suniaster from the world is to "kill" the planet. You know how when a being dies, their soul vanishes? It's the same case with the planet. The Elementals/Spirits are the "soul" of the planet, so if you destroy the planet, the Elementals/Spirits vanish. And since all the races (except humanity) lose all their power without Elementals/Spirits, the Suniaster would appear to a human.
