Certainly there could be some people already in C+ who appear on the F list and don't appear on the C+ list, but that's the opposite of what you observed.
Though in theory the person ahead of you on the C+ list should have also appeared on the F list? Hard to imagine why someone would request a C+ upgrade but not an F upgrade, unless they just ticked the wrong boxes on DL.com.
Unless the upgrade priority for C+ is different than for F? i'm thinknig reserve card, MQD AMEX waiver, etc. Are we certain those tiebreakers count for C+ upgrades?
