I've got a flight that is 3 days off (less than 72 hours now), and Expert Flyer is showing A6, but I've not yet upgraded. I did the request when first booked (two months ago)...
Length of flight makes no difference. These days upgrades are done at the window only if the F cabin is almost entirely empty. In your case, 6 seats open with 3 days to go likely means no one gets upgraded until the night before departure.
