That is not what it says. This is:
The miles accrued on codeshare flights are based on the operating carrier and their equivalent fare class. This could result in differences between the purchased booking class and the booking class flown, which determines the number of base and Elite Qualifying Miles and Elite Qualifying Points earned.
You were on the LH equivalent of a CO L fare. That the letter is the same matters less than the LH rules for the resulting letter because the miles accrued are based on the operating carrier.

You are free to believe that. You can even go after CO for deceptive marketing practices and there's a decent chance the DoT will eventually agree with you. But that doesn't mean that the rules are actually what you want them to be.
