Hi Mark, if you're in Rookie there is currently a cap of level 8 in the Rookie tier. However, this is obviously unclear and I'm probably going to remove the tier level cap for the HQ soon. After discussing that with other users it was agreed that it would not do much harm to do so.

If everyone where to stay in leagues and they where full. After a while Rookie, Pro & Elite tiers would all have level 20 managers, it's hurting nobody lifting the tier caps, long as they have the money to continue upgrading why not allow them.
Only problem that could arise there is an empty slot and a level 1 manager joins, they wont have too much fun until they get a few seasons under their belt and they might not stick around.

Yes, I don't think limiting things like the HQ is such a good thing. If rookie tiers filling up with high lvl managers does indeed becomes a problem then limiting driver lvl and design points would be better, but best would be making this a choice for setting up leagues and the ability to properly list and sort/filter leagues accordingly.
Although since this game already has and, due to the number of players, needs leagues it might be nice to look how it's done in football and the possibility to set up different division trees for leagues, or perhaps even one official for everyone and optional player created ones for more races and fun. The 3 current tiers could be tied to things like lvl, reputation and be an optional limitation which strength of player can enter (where) in leagues. But that might be just me, or my inexperience here, liking something like that. :-)

Hmmm, I did not know this.
So the real problem is actually that this isn't made clear anywhere.
If I have to be honest, I wouldn't stick around in a league where everyone was 5-6 or more levels higher than me, unless of course the XP gain is far higher.

Mark, I've just put forward a proposal to address your situation and numerous others regarding balancing and team levels. Let me know your thoughts in the thread:

I gave this a lot of thought after seeing your post, as well as being aware of a couple of other balancing challenges we need to address and want to resolve it soon so you can continue progressing in the game.

This will be resolved now with the new update, as we've made it possible for teams to upgrade HQ past the tier level cap, if their personal level permits. The tier level cap now enforces ballast, rather than being a hard limit.
