Hey, today I fed my corn two pinkies. One was a very large one who was almost a fuzzy( I can tell because they had some whiskers), and a very small pinkie. He ate both of them one after the other. Can I now upgrade to fuzzies from now on?

Give him a food item equal to his girth or slightly larger. If that means he's still taking pinkies because they are equal to his girth then so be it. If he has the girth of a fuzzie then so be it. Don't get caught up on names of feeders. Just keep feeding him feeders that are equal to or slightly larger then his girth and you'll always be right on track. They can take 1.5 times their girth too but I personally don't push them to big. A smaller meal is easier to digest. Smaller meals more offten grow them faster.

Fuzzies have more calcium in them than pinkies due to the bone development, and in my experience, I've learned (the hard way) to move the snake up as soon as they can take something more nutritious. If the snake keeps the meal down and defecates normally, I would let it have the fuzzies until the snake needs to jump up in size again.
