I ask mostly out of curiosity: how does this occur - it's unintuitive.

X has lower status and/or fare class than you do so on equal footing for RN, they are below you on the PE upgrade list. However their upgrade is supported by GS PP so they would clear into PN space while you would clear into PZ space, putting them ahead of you on the Polaris upgrade list
