Even if you make it by a copyright claim or choose a song from a label that doesn't care, you won't be able to monetize it.
I make mashups and mixes on YT and they often detect songs buried 3 layers deep and at a different bpm!
Since you had no legal right to upload it in the first place, no, you would not get to keep any earnings. It goes to the claimer in the sense that they now can monetize it in their deal with YT for letting the material stay online.
Finalized earnings from YouTube are only added to AdSense once a month.
YouTube analytics only shows estimated earnings which are gross. Your finalized earnings will be lower.
