The flight restrictions will likely be the reason

Looking on EF at the fares MAN-DXB r/t for april , the O1MAPGB1 fare has the flight restriction in rules that states

Code:

     IF THE FARE COMPONENT INCLUDES TRAVEL BETWEEN UNITED
     KINGDOM AND DXB
         THEN THAT TRAVEL MUST BE ON
         ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING
             EK FLIGHT 0022
             ANY EK FLIGHT OPERATED BY QF.

and the I1EAXGB1

Code:

     IF THE FARE COMPONENT INCLUDES TRAVEL BETWEEN UNITED
     KINGDOM AND DXB
         THEN THAT TRAVEL MUST BE ON
         ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING
             EK FLIGHT 0022
             EK FLIGHT 0020.

The next fare up ( IEEAXGB1 ) is valid on all EK flights and so would seem to be the 1st one that is valid for business class travel on EK18

As far as "flex" vs "saver" only the O class is saver, both the I fare that is EK22/20 only and the fare that allows all EK flights are flex fares
