KA F seat selection on J ticket (on flights without ticketed F)

Hi guys,
With regional J flights on KA, I often see the two rows of KA F seats on the seat map in seat selection (F not sold on these flights), but they are blocked out. When I call, they don't allow me to pick the seats and tell me to check at check-in. Then after online check-in (where I can't even see those seats anymore), I call and they tell me to wait till I get to the counter and check again, at which point they say the seats are gone.

But then at the gate, I will see J class passengers with those seats on their boarding pass (their boarding pass also says Business, not First since F isn't sold on many of these routes).

I'm just Gold, are those seats only made available to for DM, or does someone know whats the right way or timing to get those seats?
Thx
