Reservations and tickets are separate processes.

The reservation on hold means that you have confirmed seats on the flights in question. Your seats were taken out of the inventory available on those flights.

AA is free to re-calculate the fare, although usually they will not do so.

The point of the hold is to give time for the tickets to be issued.
