That's exactly right irishguy28. These are for different one-ways on different dates, and on those exact flights there are still plenty (3+) seats available at that lowest 20K level right now.

As long as the inventory doesn't substantially worsen by canceling the award seats it should be fine. The main problem will probably be to have them cancel the tickets for free, as the free canceling of awards stopped end of june - but they updated the website only after July 5 or so. I booked right in between those two dates, meaning I may..possibly..still be able to cancel for free. By doing this switch I'd loose flexibility (Tickets currently booked are definitely not flexible any more), but getting flexibility on the current tickets down the line (in 2023) based on a covid policy that ended in June... may be tricky as well.

I'll give it a try and call the PSL a little later on today. Lets see what they say.
