You have to call within 12 hours of the new flight time. In the example above you couldn't really do it since the 12 hour window is after your original departure. If you wanted the 4pm flight you could call at 4am and change it, or if you couldn't confirm the change actually head to the airport for your 6am flight.
You could also switch to the 8pm flight the night before, starting at 8am that morning. You'd be T-22 from your flight, so inside the 24h window and also T-12 from the new flight.
