Just as well - because neither AF nor KL fly from LGW!!!

If you miss a 20:50 flight, by definition you're not going to be able to be rebooked onto a 21:50 flight - that flight will have "closed" before you even miss your flight. In any case, I have my doubts that AF/KL would rebook you onto EK; their schedule disruption guidelines allow, as a last resort, rebooking onto any carrier with which they have an interline e-ticket agreement - and I'm not sure that they have such an agreement with EK.
You'll be given a hotel voucher, sent to grab the hotel shuttle, and given a new boarding pass for some other flight the next day (not necessarily the same flight 24 hours later, but quite likely)
In any case, a 60 minute connection from non-Schengen to non-Schengen is eminently doable (the current official MCT is 55 minutes). You have no security and no passport control.
