Assuming I have no problem with my first flight to DXB. My final destination, which is my connecting flight, is my home country and I don't need any entry permit or whatsoever.
The entities capable of supplying answers to your questions are the airports and the airlines concerned.

You could remove all risk by breaking your journey in Dubai, or Doha (you refer to both airports in your multiple posts). An overnight in either Dubai or Doha need not cost an arm and a leg: the HIX at DXB is around $70. You might assess that cost against the cost of your airside transfer failing.
