Consistently ranking up doesn't mean ranking up on set amount of wins (because short term win%, individual match points and group average MMR matters when it comes to MMR gain/loss) but that if you play let's say 50 soloque games with 52% winrate, you will gain one or two ranks. Looking at rank-ups short term is just not accurate. If you actually have 52% winrate that means you will keep ranking up. That's just a fact, there is no way around it.
I am Global with a lower winrate than you. It's not because valve randomly decided that I should get global easier and you would have it the hard way. The algorithm is the same for everyone. The parameters just favor consistent winning across longer periods of time to accurately reflect player skill.
The exceptions to the 51% rule are if you are
#1 Playing like shit every game (low MVP/score) and getting carried while having still just above 50% winrate.
#2 Playing way below your rank (with a group) while having just above 50% winrate.
