This seems to me like a mis-characterization of the Veil of Ignorance idea.
An unequal distribution of goods is not, per se, unjust. It merely needs to be justified on the basis that it makes everyone collectively better off, not on the basis that someone deserves more goods for being born into better circumstances.
Some degree of unequal distribution is probably justified because it is necessary to incentivize people born with the potential for running fast to put in the work necessary to achieve that potential.
