That is why the advice is always to book two separate tickets when redeeming to HKG and back. However with the voucher you can only use it on one ticket so you have a choice whether to use the voucher both ways and pay more YQ or use it one way only and save YQ but spend more Avios to fly PE. Tough one!
Well, I checked on ITA software, for LHR-HKG-LHR flight would not attract YQ on HKG-LHR segment.
And also, seems the difference of YQ of J and PY and Y is not that large, which is 189 - 226 - 329 GBP, with 78 GBP extra APD if not travelling on Y
