Unos aguas. Unas aguas. Unos alas. Unas alas.

Unos aguas. Unas aguas. Unos alas. Unas alas.

The lesson states that "unos" and "unas" are both correct in front of a plural feminine noun beginning with a stressed a. The RAE says it isn't (https://www.rae.es/buen-uso-espa%C3%B1ol/el-art%C3%ADculo-ante-nombres-femeninos-comenzados-por-a-t%C3%B3nica), specifically citing "unos aulas" as incorrect.

It's a minor point, but where is the disconnect? Is the RAE being prescriptive here, or is something else going on?
