I'm assuming a situation where you check in at T-24h online. They don't know that you have bags, so they can't offload you for "not getting your bags deposited". Flight is delayed 6 hours, posted the night before and does not change. You show up at T-2h from new time with bags. I find it highly unlikely they won't take them.
