Does anyone think it would be possible to convince an agent to change my HKG-SYD to HKG-NRT-SYD to get me back into F or is that way over-reaching? Since it was a downgrade, I theoretically shouldn't be charged the difference in YQ, but I'd hate to lose what I have by getting greedy. Looking for everyone's advice...
No. They won't change a HKG-SYD into HKG-NRT-SYD. You can only try to cut your stopover in HKG and instead flying direct from NRT to SYD...

Your outbound flights (16850mi) exceed the allowed 25MPM (14156mi), so i would be careful to contact USDM with additional changes on your ticket.
