A little fog delay in the morning in BOG screws up the intra-Colombia schedule for the rest of the day.

If I was in your situation, I would book my MDE-BOG flight to arrive no less than 2.5 hours before your flight out of BOG, particularly if you have checked luggage.
Thanks for that.

Booked to come in 6 hours before.

Would rather be safe than sorry. Can access the AA Admirals Lounge too in BOG also.
