When I purchase a Preferred seat in the Y cabin in advance of check-in, which boarding zone should I receive?

Their web-site says it should be Zone 3:

But on my last two flights where I've purchased Preferred (both cross-border, one last week and one tomorrow) my boarding pass showed me as Zone 4.

Is this a system issue? A web-site mistake? Or am I missing something...
