the terms and conditions state an upgrade sponsored by a platinum 1 receives the same priority as a platinum 1.
as a platinum 1 would never be in the position to be considered along with bronze, silver and golds, the only interpretation is that P1 upgrades are all considered at the same time. you cannot have the 'same high priority' for something you would never encounter!
the only time the terms and conditions could be manipulated to make sense otherwise would be if a P1 booked a day before departure, and put in an upgrade request at the same time. they would then be top of the pecking order amongst bronzes and silvers.
but that would be a very limited interpretation of the rule.
