Running from the UPS, watts are computed the same way, namely,
V-ups * A-ups * PF-ups. The UPS must supply the same watts as the wall,


I agree with your statement "The UPS must supply the same watts as the wall," But the Power Factor of the UPS has absolutely nothing what so ever to do with calculating the VA rating of the UPS. The VA rating of a UPS is determined by its output VA rating not its input VA rating.
