Is that feasible? Or do you think using UA miles makes it so no changes can happen at all.
1) You can't use a SWU to upgrade award tickets
2) You can't use miles to upgrade award tickets - you can cancel an award and purchase a new one in a different class if space opens up.

So, based on 1 & 2 above, there's no need to speculate on whether UA miles come into play or not.
