This is my experience also. You will have to collect baggage and leave the airport with a >24h connection.
I have done connections <24h with checked-through baggage where I have accessed the lounge on arrival for a few hours, then used either the terminal hotel or walked back through connection security to enter Dubai and use a hotel there.
