It seems like a voluntary downgrade to me. They AA flight you were on wasn't flying; you and two options:

A) Take the next AA flight with reward seats available in F
B) Take a voluntary downgrade and get to your destination in time

You chose option B, so the Avios and SkyPesos are icing on the cake.
