My understanding is that the Reserve card upgrade priority tie-breaker comes after fare class, but before time of request. The AMEX Reserve card T&C's mentions "Upgrade Priority within the same Medallion tier and fare class". It would indeed be pretty much pointless if it came after time of request.
