Prices from the sublime to the ridiculous

The following prices are just taken from QR's booking engine. (19.00 AST.30 April)
This is an extract of the full result. The first itinerary is a pretty standard, but not cheapest, itinerary
The second is also for CPH-HKG showing a Business Saver ticket costs over 30% more than a FULL price Business Flex!
The third is for HKG-CPH and shows that a Business saver is 95% MORE than a business Flex. And Business Value is 106% more than Business Flex!.

I know that the different ticket classes can be sold out but can someone please explain how a lower class ticketing class cost so much more than a 'full price' ticketing class. Were I forced to take theses flights I know which ticketing class I would choose.
