Downstream IS protected, but only when the GFCI trips. So if the GFCI is on, and the downstream is connected to the GFCI output side, what he described can't/shouldn't happen.

The two outlets closest to the breaker in your scenario are upstream, and if they are live, then the GFCI input power is probably also live.

His scenario does not sound like a GFCI issue, it sounds like a bad connection in a box.
Op mentioned downstream outlet has no power not up.
