LHR still prices at 22.5, so it seems only some routes/partners have gone up
On IB metal, the total distance JFK-MAD-LIS/OPO exceeds 3,500 miles, so technically it should be priced (starting from) 27.5k, but AS sometimes calculate distance differently, especially when there's a connection. Again, they can also price awards above the starting level.
