Once, my arriving flight from CLT was late due to a mechanical, I got to the gate 8 minutes before departure and they wouldn't let me on. The kicker was the plane then left 4 minutes early. And don't assume there will be any seats available on the next flight out, either.
Especially in OP's case, where the next flight out is the next morning...

(though I suppose they could put OP on the super late PHX-CLT connecting to a morning CLT-MCO in the case of a misconnect)
