To add confusion to this by dragging in another thread...

If tum'ah is caused by the sudden departure of potential for qedushah,
is it possible to rapidly drop from +49 qedushah without ending up at
the bottom of the tum'ah scale?

I think this might be a second way to view REL's comment:
: In any case mt point was that in this case the sin was a direct result
: of their missing the high level of kedusha. I agree with Toby that
: other peoples can sink from other vantage points

But then, it raises question of how one can get from 0 (or where ever)
to -49 tum'ah without starting with qedushah to lose...
