Generally they wouldn't, but theoretically they could. I believe it goes.
Displaced paid first
Shenanigans
Elite level (So you have to worry about PPlats and GS)
Fare Class
Upgrade engine

Since GA can confirm a seat for someone on the waitlist and then change their fare class or put them in displaced first after the fact, it could. Plus if someone was on the list and it didn't have the correct elite level or any number of things that could change, anything is possible. Doesn't mean it is likely, just possible.
