I'm also surprised that a Monday hub to hub flight only had 17 on the upgrade list. Perhaps the flight was at an odd time?
This is
wrong.
There are two different cases:
Two medallions on a single PNR: Upgrade will clear at the lowest medallion window, so in this case, they should have cleared at the GM window.
Medallion + non-medallion: Upgrade will clear after the last FO and before any other partner (Skyteam, SPG, AS).
If only 1 seat is available, the PNR is skipped and the next single passenger in the list gets the upgrade.
