It doesn't apply, because a Gold priority reward applies to economy seats only - and no other class of travel.
Are you sure? The sticky says:-

  • Priority Reward is an opportunity for Gold card holders to book any available seat in any cabin, provided there are commercial seats available for sale on any flight for double the standard redemption rate. Priority Reward bookings can only be made offline, more than 30 days in advance and are open to BA mainline flights only. A £15 service fee applies. Changes to Priority Rewards booking are possible within 30 days but only if normal redemption classes are available.
And condition 4 says:-
Flight(s) must still have seats available for sale in the desired cabin of travel.
It would not say this if it was economy only.
