I'm not aware of KEF being medallion upgrade eligible at any recent point either. According to the T&Cs for upgrades and RUC usage, there is nothing to indicate that it is an exception that is allowed.
Not doubting that flyerCO did get upgraded somehow, but there doesn't seem to be a published method how to do so. I just did a dummy booking and it shows "Not Complimentary Upgrade Eligible"
Either way, it certainly isn't worth paying 4k+ for a domestic first seat and service on a 5.5hr flight.
