For me, the biggest factor for computing MCT in PTY when connecting from UA is how late the UA plane will be. If your plane is on time, even if you are in the back row 45-50 minutes is fine.

Two weeks ago, I flew DEN-IAH-PTY-MDE. The connection time in PTY was supposed to be about 2 hours. UA was very late and I stepped off the plane with 20 minutes until my next departure. My gate was almost as far away as is possible in tiny PTY and I made it with 10 minutes to spare (though I was walking very fast).
