I agree. The praise they were giving MMDW wasn't so much to toot their own horns (because then doing it around Rainbow Dash was pointless since she didn't know MMDW's identity), but more to give Rainbow Dash a good example to try to emulate (especially with the modesty comment). They were actually trying to appeal to RD's pride; the message there was "hey, if you were more like MMDW, people would praise you more, just like we're doing now."
