I'd say it is to minimize op-up... Guess CX still wants to minimize the possible fare cannabalisation effect by rejecting:

Type 1: In case op-up is needed, those with maximum aggregate fare up to the point that no further op-up needed

Type 2: In case no op-up needed, any aggregate fare (original fare + upgrade bid and factoring membership tier into consideration) that doesn't meet their minimum threshold

That's what I understand from the T&C stating that original fare class and membership tier will be factors affecting the bid success

Please read FAQ. One class only. You are offered Y to J in ex-ICN flight because there's no PEY onboard
