Wouldn't the best solution to the big-revenue/small-revenue and scouting accuracy issue be to cap the amount you could spend on scouting and even at that highest level of scouting retain some degree of inaccuracy? A big-revenue team could overcome that inaccuracy by simply being able to absorb more bad contracts than a small-revenue team.

This would model reality - the Yankees don't necessarily have a more accurate scouting department than the Twins or A's, but they can gobble up the best free agents without batting an eye, and if one or two of them bust, no biggie.
