I thought that Y/B/M ups (I never get to buy such expensive fares) had to be "upgraded" after purchase by hitting an upgrade button. Therefore I wouldn't be convinced that they will reliably clear automatically or that the PN bucket wont sit open between sweeps allowing someone to snipe you on the upgrade.
