If UA upgraded the GS out of Y into J, then they would have to downgrade *someone* in O to Y.

So, you tell me. Should a GS out of Y get upgraded to J and downgrade a O pax into Y? Or should they upgrade three O pax to J, stranding a GS in Y?
Exactly, these are operational upgrades. Seems to me this is the right outcome. The alternative is downgrading someone who paid for PP to accommodate someone requesting an upgrade from Y. Just because the PlusPoints are GS sponsored, that would be perverse.
