I don’t expect it is like this all the time when booking last minute, but for these flights the economy + upgrade for all four legs would be nearly £1,000 less than buying business class flights in the first place.
The upgrade prices you are seeing are all in the normal range. I hardly ever look at short notice business class short haul prices so can’t say how out of place that is. When booking further in advance there are certainly decent C class prices to be had.
