You've completely misunderstood this this conversation. The limit on the height from which a pump can suck water is a limit that applies to all pumps, no matter how powerful. There's no comparable limit for pumps pushing water upward. Yes, each particular pump will have its own limits, but there's no comparable overarching fundamental limit.
