Turned Silver - got an upgrade

So, had a trip to NRT with AY (cheapest Y fare GVA-HEL-NRT) and pro fare from NRT-HEL-GVA.

When I checked in online from Tokyo I was bumped up from Y to J but only on the HEL-GVA segment which was a nice gesture. Not sure if this was due to:

1) Operational reasons,
2) Type of ticket OR
3) The fact that I had complained about the food service from BKK to HEL in J as it did not materialize as per my pre-order back in Feb of this year.

The load factor in J on the HEL-GVA segment was about 50% and not sure about in Y, but it didn't look "full".

The flight from NRT to HEL was around 80% full in Y, and I'd say a little less in J so I'm trying to figure out why the UG was only for the HEL-GVA segment and not on the NRT-HEL part of the trip?
