I've not had that experience... I've always only been able to OLCI 23:59 before all segments, not just the originating segment. Even being in DTW, I've flown through CLE/MEM/MSP/MKE/IND a few times, and I wasn't able to OLCI for those connections until 23:50.
I
can't speak for non-stop flights with layovers in a hub, but at least for connecting lay-overs with different planes and flight numbers, I had to wait until 23:59 before each segment.
Also, doing OLCI at 23:59 also has another benefit... DSA seats.
