Dirt or foreign objects can only enter thru the intake or other sources, oil, broken internal parts, broken head gasket etc.

Back pressure is only a term used to describe the amount of restriction to exhaust flow caused by a internal muffler, baffle or cat etc. Back pressure does not mean a reverse flow of exhaust gases.

This guys example is a good reason to show why is better to keep the car stock, dealers and manufactures are always looking for reasons to deny a waranty claim if possible.

Just be glad they covered your repair under waranty.

Most likely the ring damage was caused by the rings never really seating properly or a excessivly lean air fuel mixture and even engine timing could do it or bad engine mapping
You know the exhaust ports stay open during the intake stroke, right? This is not a terribly uncommon occurrence (when cats go bad, that is)
