Unfortunately, first leg got cancelled again and AA re-booked the trip on same iti for tomorrow.

So AA can definitely negotiate an awards BC seats thru CX depending on the situation. I know snagging CX from DFW-HKG on BC is impossible now!
This is just a standard INVOL rebooking which involves rebooking into the lowest available booking class within the same cabin and nothing to do with award space. Preference for rebooking would be AA/original airline, OW, then non-OW airlines.
