I would. You gave up your seat so others could go, all the seats got filled by revenue customers. What you do after that is your business. But I'd tell the CA what you're up to, so there's no misunderstanding.
Assumes you were revenue PS, ie ticket bought by your employer on another airline... non-rev PS is probably not voucher eligible.
