I suppose the rationale is that the J seat takes up more square footage, so should pay more - either that or that it makes up a smaller portion of a J fare, so those buyers would be unlikely to complain.
One more reason to use eUpgrades instead of paying for J.

I saw this on some routes from Europe to Canada (FCO) as early of May, even maybe April. Higher surcharge not just for J but even Latitude.
