I suppose it's not hard if you're spending the night at the airport, next to the magical kiosk that has powers that no agent, website, or mobile device has.
No it is not. Sticker/EXP upgrades are based on original time of request even on the airport upgrade list. SWU/Mileage upgrades are ranked (within tier etc.) by check-in time if not clearing before the flight goes to airport control (approx T-4). If connecting you could even get higher on the list for those upgrades by checking in at T-24 at your origin.
