No.
This is easy to look up, either on the web or in the many reference
works.
Lasker beat Tyler, Winter, Thomas, Alexander, Bogoljubov, Euwe
He lost to Flohr, Reshevsky, Fine
Drew with Alekhine, Botvinnik, Capablanca, Tartakower, Vidmar
Six wins, three losses, five draws.
Doesn't look like a last place finish does it? Doesn't look like the
top 8 players were in a separate group, does it?
Why are you arguing and speculating about this? If you've been
relying on a source that's been called into question, why not
crosscheck with other sources?
