That is, |lost| = |won| , isn't correct, IMHO.
A player rated 1700 beats a 1610 player and both get the same adjustment to their ratings. It works fine, but in 1v1 games. In a 7 player CtP game, one player has 6 wins essentially, the next one 5 wins and 1 loss, and so on. Won't this formula give the winning player too big of an advantage over the others?

because not the winning player gets all the points of all other players, but rather, as an example, considering 5 players:
player 1 takes 6 points
player 2 takes 3 points
player 3 takes 1 point
player 4 loses 4 points
player 5 loses 6 points
+6
