It could be a full fare ticket (fully refundable, changeable, etc. with no fees) for premium economy and some restrictive deep discount business class ticket. Inventory could be such that there's only a seat or two left in premium economy but many empty seats for sale in business class.

The DEAL purple triangle suggests that there could be a sale for coach and business class on your flight.
