If you were rebooked that implies there were already people on the flight you were moved to and boarding positions have already been assigned to those people. I guess it's possible to allow people to board at A61 but there would be no way to verify someone was rebooked and actually qualified for that spot.

The best the airline can do is give "inconvenience" passengers the best boarding spots available at check in -- and that is what SW does.
