If I click on that map it opens YouTube but as far as I can tell, PER-SYD-DRW-SYD is not excluded, even though the tool tells me otherwise.

Can someone point me in the right direction or help with that info? I've got one segment on a DONE5 that could be attractive to upgrade to F, but currently there's no A availability on that segment (I have an EF alert set for it).
Subject to all the other rules and exemptions (e.g. intra-Middle East on two-class Qatar allows A on a DONEx), if any of your other flights are in A, I'm fairly sure you're up for an AONEx. Economy to premium economy is specifically permitted in the rules for an upcharge, but not business to first.
