From a short-term perspective, increasing the bottom end of the pay scale is not an isolated event. All levels of the scale must be adjusted upward to offset the effect of condensing (in this case drastically) the pay differences between positions with different levels of responsibility.
From a long-term perspective, the management of Walmart does not own the equity in the company. They must act in the interests of the company's owners in order to at least preserve, if not expand, the company itself. The evidence against buybacks presented in the paper you link is quite thin. The management may be making a bad decision, but it is up to the shareholders to correct them.

Prove it.

You're correct, and this is why we need to raise the federal minimum wage.
