I'll let other correct me but my take is...

Assuming you have already cleared your upgrade on the shorter leg, you will need to un-upgrade yourself before the shorter flight is taken but you'll need to have your original fare bucket available on that flight to do so. And with that, my advice for the future is to place the upgrade request only on the longer segment and if that clears in advance, then have it applied to the shorter segment
