That is the cabin of travel, not the fare.
It sounds like you were both rebooked into coach on the flight as that is what seats were available. You were on the waitlist as an elite but the agent who rebooked you neglected to put your friend in as a displaced passenger. When the friend spoke to the agent they were confirmed straight into F as they were the top priority and the one entitled to the upgrade.
The only thing done incorrectly was the initial agent not noting your friend's status as a displaced F passenger.
