I'd see that too. Likely it's CLT that takes it in the shorts, as the smallest metro area of everything in the combined network. That being said, CLT has high enough O/D to sustain a lot of service, and it's probably cheaper for some things than MIA (which has stupid high landing fees), so it won't disappear.
