Depends if you are buying via united 016 or ana ticket, or whether the routing engine had a hiccup
They are JV partners (so they share the flight space and revenue), but will have different availability. And different flights have different space, OP may not have the fare available on the good connecting flight
UA has a nonstop sfo-kix, but you have to fly UA
