There is no progression that is consistently followed. You do not have to work a District Championship game to work a sectional game, nor do you have to work a sectional game to work a quarterfinal game. The norm is an official usually works a sectional game or a quarterfinal game but not both. There are of course exceptions at times.

There are quite a few people in our area that work both a sectional and quarterfinal in the same year. I don't know exactly how many, but I have talked to several who are doing both. Now one may be a Class 1 boys sectional next week and then a Class 4 girls quarterfinal the week after. There are some others who will work two sectionals, but one is a smaller class game and the other a larger class game the next week.
