That's not boosting. That is perfectly legal, as you said. Boosting is when people with similar ranks intentionally match with each other in matchmaking to get wins. Players rotate every match to get positive win ratio, thus ranking up. This process is most commonly known as 'circle boosting'. On the other hand you have 'straight boosting' which is simply boosting of another player or team until you can no longer be matched. This is boosting. Playing with people of a lower rank is not cheating so don't let anyone else tell you otherwise.
