Now that the WBA is consolidating belts, the 147 lbs division should be next in line. Currently Ugas is the Super Champ @ 147, while Jamal James is the Regular and Vergil Ortiz holds the Gold belt all @ welterweight. Their longest tenure champ @ 147 is Vergil Ortiz even before Ugas when he won the vacant WBA regular belt against Ramos. Time for Vergil to get his opportunity at the champ his WBA Gold belt guarantees him that, no reason for the WBA not to order it after next week.
Time for WBA to order Vergil vs. Ugas/Pacquiao winner!

Gold belt is not a world title so it's out of the picture...
If any, Welterweight and Heavyweight would be the last ones to be touched by the WBA... -
The Gold belt is a title at least in the WBA organization, if it weren’t they wouldn’t be any sanctioning fees associated to it. Or be recognized in their own organization rankings. Vergil has earn his shot at the champ

The WBA Gold Belt still entail sanctioning fees, same as Super, Regular or interm champ it is recognize as a title by the WBA. If it wasn’t Vergil Ortiz would be ranked in the top 10 by the WBA but isn’t and is recognized as one of their champions @ 147.
