Problems with AA's pricing on a DONE3 ticket

I am buying a DONE3 ticket that strarts and ends in Amman, Jordan. The base fare according to One World's website in JD is 4,400. I live in Canada and I will purchase this ticket in Canadian dollars. AA has quoted me a fare of USD 9,100, with taxes for this ticket. At the current exchange rate this ticket should be approximately US$6,300 plus taxes. I asked AA why I have been quoted in USD and not Canadian dollars, they said to call again in 24 hours. I am now quoted a fare of $9,700 Canadian dollars, on a base fare of JD 6,1??. I have asked them to look into this, since the base fare shown on OW.com is JD 4,400. They are telling me to check back in 24 hours.

Wondering, if this kind of confusion is normal when booking/pricing a rtw ticket? Is there anything I did wrong? (I did tell the agent I reside in Canada and I would like to purchase my ticket from Canada.) Or, is this just a bit of bad luck I need to deal with.

I am learning about booking/ticketing process for a rtw ticket.
