But what I’m trying to figure out is why the connection time is an issue for award but not rev. There are other examples where the exact flights and class are available as rev but not award.

Other days have the DUB-ORD-SLC if taking earlier DUB flight.
It is probably not the connect time. The award is simply not available. You don't need inventory for each flight separately, you need both segments available as a married segment. This is a common problem, unfortunately
