Same status (GS)
Same fare class..
GPU/RPU used...
Club card vs authorized club card...
Here is the list on the website:
Effective December 12, 2018, upgrade waitlists are processed in the following priority order:
1.Premier status of the traveler
2.Fare class Footnote 1
3.Chase United MileagePlus Club cardholders and Presidential Plus cardholders
4.United Corporate Preferred participant
5.Chase United MileagePlus cardholders with $25,000 annual spend Footnote 2
6.Time of request

So according to the website the answer is yes if it is between Club card and Explorer card otherwise no. If one is not the primary cardholder then they probably would not get the improvement in tiebreaker.
