UA Star Alliance Upgrade Award has wrong mileage? {needed chart is no longer posted}

Hey guys, quick question, because I'm a bit confused with UA's award upgrade price. I'm trying to upgrade an EVA flight that has Z upgrade availability using UA miles. According to UA's chart shown below, a Y fare from Hong Kong (South Asia) to Taipei (North Asia) should only be 7,500 miles. And my EVA flight is not some discount fare. It's actually a full Y fare ticket. So can someone clarify why it's charging 15K? I definitely wouldn't want to pay that for a sub 2-hour flight. Thanks in advance!
