I'm not following. The link posted and that I replied to listed the following as the order for upgrades:

1. Elite level
2. Booked cabin
3. MM status
...

So a 1MM Gold on a LUT fare is higher than a non-1MM Gold on a Y fare according to that chart. Once you hit the third tie breaker (which literally broke the tie between the two Golds in the coach cabin), the rest is irrelevant. MQD for the year is further down the tiebreaker rank.
