Seems like its doing what he asked if I've understood correctly.  Make 
Next and stop is where you're going wrong.

Assume we have three events:

Currently Playing: My Awesome Song (3minutes left to play)
Next: A song by someone else so it can't be as awesome as my song
2minutes from now: Legal ID/Macro thingy

In 2minutes time iff you have the play mode set to Automatic, the Next 
event will disappear and the legal will replace it.

Assuming you keep in automatic mode 1 minute later (when the awesome 
song finishes), the stop transition will occur so everything stops.  All 
you told the event to do was Make Next and it is next, its waiting for 
you to hit go (or some other event to fire it).

The reason why stop transitions work on hard time start immediately is 
the time does the play, if you want the make next to work how I think 
you intend you need to get rid of the stop transition and change it to 
play/segue.  Be aware that play/segue is an issue if a legal must not 
start earlier than a specified time.  In which case over fill your 
clocks or something.
