It's not the same seat as before that is being listed again. You took that seat. The system then allocated 1 more seat from J inventory to A.

Can happen frequently. Can also go the other way - for example, I have seen Z2 I2, I buy a single Z fare, and then it converts to Z0 I3, with that last seat that was in Z class, being bumped up to I class.

It's the algorithms making instant pricing/inventory decisions
