So, they could say "you last leg was worth $150, but the change fee is $200. So we will charge you $200 to make the change, apply the $150 credit and you pay us $50.

Ive not heard of them doing this, unless someone is abusing this process
While it is true OP isn't going to get billed for missing the segment, the missing segment would be an issue on a refund. I suspect the value of his ticket is 0, as the other segments would need to be repriced and then the $200 fee would be deducted from whatever was left.
