I understand the correlation to be between the reduced number of Gold members and op-up probability.
Obviously when loads require, there is a "queue" of Golds who are eligible to an op-up (think DXB RUH flights with 100 Golds in Y, you NEVER get an upgrade). If this number from 100 drops to - say - 50, the probability is higher.
