I guess they sold on the auction
Same happened to me on the GRU SCL.
Black status has been useless this year so far. Let's see in a couple of days for a GRU JFK flight
Chances are they were bid upgrades. LATAM has been clearing my last upgrades 2 hours - 90 min before the departure. I get along with Special Services girls in SCL, and they told me the bidding list is getting roughly 50% of the available seats. So if there are 6 seats, 3 will go for bidders and 3 for upgrades with segments.
