And if the clubs were also tied in 2016, then the 2015 standings would be used, and so on. That's been the rule in use for some time now, though at one point ties were broken by lot. (I'd have to look up exactly when that change occurred.)
It should be remembered too that, prior to 2005,
draft selections alternated by league. This was true for both the amateur draft and the Rule 5 draft.

Perhaps taking a look at how other leagues that do have draft trading and free agent draft compensation handle which picks can be traded, and when, might be helpful in guiding what OOTP should do in such non-MLB scenarios.
