Sometimes corporate gets involved and the message get muddled.

The only thing that comes to mind is that the QF380 was very late (a permitted pre-0600 arrival) and the EK 380 was on time, late non-compliant vs compliant, the option to de-prioritise QF was applied and EK was, in this instance, the winner. Of course, this is just speculation, could have been other reasons.
