Your status should have already been viewable in your booking, so the yield management would already take it into account on your initial request for releasing seat.
You can ask again if you can find an agent willing to submit an request again, after 2 denials including one on the appeal - because request and appeal is 2 different thing and appeal is generally viewed as final.
