Awards price out as the most expensive zone from your origin that you transit through, not the most expensive flight in your itinerary.
Based on your logic, then AP should be charging 125K miles because its Asia 1 to North America which is higher than Asia 1 - Europe 1 or 2 @ 105K
OP is travelling Asia 1 - North America via Europe...... and not Europe 1 or 2 to North America
