On the way back I asked LAX how they handle it. They said Alaska Lounge and Admirals Club treated equally. This reflects the instructions I was told they were given some months ago when they were forcing the latter to go on a list even when the club wasn't at capacity.

So there isn't a consistent policy across lounges.
