If an FO gets bypassed for upgrade cause he doesn't have the time, does he upgrade as soon as he gets the time or does there need to be a vacancy put out? And does the guy who bypassed him get displaced bag down to FO if he right on the cuff?

The one who upgraded first wouldn't get downgraded.

In order to upgrade to Captain, there must first be an opening. No opening, no upgrade. So if an FO is bypassed and then suddenly gets the time, he will not upgrade unless there is an opening. Also, the junior Captain does not get displaced in base or rank as a result, he is safe.
Having said that, that same Captain may be on reserve for a long time as more senior FO's upgrade to Captain, they will be able to have a better schedule because of their seniority.
