There is no discrepancy: 3 seats are, indeed, available for sale in the Business class cabin (and are currently available for purchase via Continental.com). However, upgrades are booked in the F booking class (which CO had decided to hide as of a few months ago).
Having said that, your chances of getting the upgrade would have been better, should there have been standard business-class award availability (CS):
