I'll tell you how i thought about this:
If you have two objects in front of you each attached to separate ropes and you pull each of the objects towards you the lighter object will come faster than the heavier object.
If you have two objects in front of you and if you had to push them away from you,you'd be able to push the lighter object away quicker than the heavier object.
If gravity was pulling stuff towards the center of earth then lighter objects would fall faster than heavier objects,but if it were pushing objects away from the surface of earth then heavier objects would fall faster than lighter object.
Get it?As in,get how i thought about it,not that i'm right or anything,it's just a thought.
Edit:
Like gravity would be like an imaginary bubble and when two objects were to be placed on top of it,the heavier object would come down faster than the lighter object,the bubble is pushing it up but it is overwhelmed.
