That would be the case if the train, on which Ralph is located, were not
moving relative to the places of the flashes. But it is, and so he is: he
is moving away from the place of the one flash and towards the place of the
other, and so he is moving away from the light of the former and towards the
light of the latter.
(Use a fixed-width Unicode font to read the following.)
t₀: ☇ R ☇ Flashes strike
☇ P ☇ Flashes strike
t₁: → R ← Ralph has not seen either flash yet
→ P ← Paul has not seen either flash yet
t₂: → R ← Ralph has not seen either flash yet
→ P ← Paul has not seen either flash yet
t₃: → R← Ralph has just seen the front flash
→ P ← Paul has not seen either flash yet
t₄: → ← R Ralph has already seen the front flash,
but not the rear flash yet
→P← Front and rear flash are simultaneous for Paul
t₅: ← → R Ralph has already seen the front flash,
but not the rear flash yet
←P→ Paul has seen both flashes already
t₆: ← → R Ralph has already seen the front flash,
but not the rear flash yet
← P → Paul has seen both flashes already
t₇: ← → R Ralph has already seen the front flash,
but not the rear flash yet
← P → Paul has seen both flashes already
t₈: ← →R Ralph finally sees the rear flash
← P → Paul has seen both flashes already
(It’s so very simple, isn’t it?)

No, your logic is flawed.

First of all, not the flashes are moving towards the observers,
but the light from the flashes.
Second, the speed of light is the same in all frames of reference.
Experimentally confirmed.
