It is physically impossible to be in higher ranking tiers with all syndicates at once. However, it is possible to be positive with all of them at once. In order to be positive you have to have pushed at least one syndicate to the absolute minimum standing. Because, the negative standing cap is lower than the positive standing cap you can unbalance opposing syndicates.

For example, if you max out Steel Meridian it will be at a total of 372,000 standing; but the Perrin Sequence, their enemy syndicate, will only be at -71,000 standing. If you then put 221,500 standing into Perrin, both Steel and Perrin will be at 150,500 standing. That works out to being rank 3 with both of them.

Obviously it would be more complicated with all 6 syndicates, but theoretically you could have all 6 at rank 3 if you tried hard enough.
