What they are presumably relying on is the requirement to have a confirmed reservation - this would have been for the initial flight. Once you are over 3 hours from that then you are potentially in Article 7 compensation territory. But one you are over 3 - 4 hours of delay, there is no additional compensation no matter how long it takes, no matter how long the delay. You could of course argue that you were rebooked and therefore the clock starts again, but you will have to argue that before CEDR / MCOL. It is further complicated by the fact that you could have got there sooner had you stuck to the delayed initial service..
