Sonata is a YC, which is a specialty midsize, not a standard. So, yes, you were downgraded, and should get a rate reduction.

That said, when I was 5* I never expected an upgrade, simply because of the "based on availability" language. I simply expected to get at least what I reserved, and if I did better than that then I treated it as a bonus. If you were PC, then yes, you would be able to demand an upgrade.
