In the US Navy, the ranks of "Seaman Recruit", "Seaman Apprentice" and "Seaman" are junior to the rank of Petty Officer 3rd Class. In increasing rank are Petty Officer 2nd Class, Petty Officer First Class and Chief Petty Officer.
So, yes, any of the Petty Officer ranks are higher than any of the Seaman (or Airman or Fireman) ranks.

Is a corporal a higher rank than leading rate?
The rank of Corporal and Leading Seaman are equivalent. The next level up is Sergeant (army) Petty Officer (navy). Although the American Navy turfs in a few extra pay grades under the Petty Officer rank. On the other hand the British Navy skips the rank of Petty Officer 2nd Class and goes right to Petty Officer 1st Class from Leading Seaman. Petty Officer 1st Class is equivalent to Warrant Officer in the Army. Confused?

(1) In general. Article 91 has the same general objects with respect to warrant, noncommissioned, and petty officers as Articles 89 and 90 have with respect to commissioned officers, namely, to ensure obedience to their lawful orders, and to protect them from violence, insult, or disrespect. Unlike Articles 89, and 90, however, this article does not require a superior-subordinate relationship as an element of any of the offenses denounced. This article does not protect an acting noncommissioned officer or acting petty officer, nor does it protect military police or members of the shore patrol who are not warrant, noncommissioned, or petty officers. 2) Knowledge. All of the offenses prohibited by Article 91 require that the accused have actual knowledge that the victim was a warrant, noncom missioned, or petty officer. Actual knowledge may be proved by circumstantial evidence. (3) Striking or assaulting a warrant, noncommissioned, or petty officer. For a discussion of "strikes" and "in the execution of office," see paragraph 14c. For a discussion of "assault," see paragraph 54c. An assault by a prisoner who has been discharged from the service, or by any other civilian subject to military law, upon a warrant, noncommissioned, or petty officer should be charged under Article 128 or 134. (4) Disobeying a warrant, noncommissioned, or petty officer. See paragraph 14c(2), for a discussion of lawfulness, personal nature, form, transmission, and specificity of the order, nature of the disobedience, and time for compliance with the order. (5) Treating with contempt or being disrespectful in language or deportment toward a warrant, non-commissioned, or petty officer. "Toward" requires that the behavior and language be within the sight or hearing of the warrant, noncommissioned, or petty officer concerned. For a discussion of "in the execution of his office," see paragraph 14c. For a discussion of disrespect, see paragraph 13c. Lesser included offenses.
