Does this mean that Silvers can qualify for Gold at 48,000?
I think there's a difference between requalifying for your current level at a lower rate vs getting upgraded at a lower rate.

From Cathay Boy's experience, I think CX will never upgrade you to the next level unless you really do fly those actual club miles at least once. Once you are at that level they might be lenient in requalifying - in the past by extending your member year, and recently it seems by giving a requalification discount.
