Do Jet fares drop close-in?

Looking to fly KTM-DEL-ATQ on Oct 27th.

It's $130 for a 6 hr layover in DEL -- 12:15pm-2pm / 8:05pm-9.15pm. But it's $315 for a much better 1+hr layover in DEL 5:15pm-6:50pm / 8:05pm-9.15pm.

Jet.com shows that almost all flights from KTM-ATQ are sold out in all but the highest inventory on this day and other dates around there. Is this because of some holiday?

If we buy the ticket with the bad 6 hr layover, what are the chances we could pay the $30 change fee and get on a better connection at some point? Do these inventories tend to open up?
