Out of curiosity

My return from Brisbane (EK435) is at 20.45 on a Sunday night.
The non-stop flight is 14 hours 45 minutes.
I arrive Dubai at local time 5.30 am Monday.
My Dubai to London (EK001)departs 7.45 am.

When I do my OLCI at 24 hours out from the Brisbane departure, I can also check in for any connecting flight within 36 hours from the time I do the OLCI.

So doing OLCI at 24 hours before departure I can, in reality, check in for flights with a departure time within 12 hours from the departure time from Brisbane.

The flight for Brisbane takes 14 hours 45 minutes minutes so no I obviously cannot check in for the Dubai-London leg.

However the flight from Dubai, because of time zones, actually leaves 11 hours after my flight from Brisbane departs so yes I obviously can check in for it.

So the question is, which is it?

Can I OLCI for the Dubai - London leg or not when I do OLCI 24 hours before my Brisbane flight?

Thank you.
