NRSA can stand by for any cabin. If there is a co-pay, it's higher for premium cabins. If you list for a higher cabin you generally list for all lower cabins too (which is why you see them on the flight standby list as well as the F standby / upgrade list, same place as you see displaced F pax who are standing by for the flight).
