"eligible fare classes" is the key. Some low cost fares do not earn miles: are non eligible

This is not unusual in OW. Particularly with some CX fares, where the same fare class bucket on other OW airline fares earning in many other OW FFP's (e.g L). Same with QF - AA, but with the AA FFP a change was made recently so more QF fares are AA earning.
