Isn't this check a high risk for the case the blockchain stalled for more than 24hrs?

eccoin/src/chain/chainman.cpp

Lines 108 to 109 in e021ed5

bool state = (chainActive.Height() < pindexBestHeader->nHeight - 24 * 6 ||
pindexBestHeader->GetBlockTime() < GetTime() - chainParams.MaxTipAge());

What is the purpose of this check? Is it a security feature to avoid a special type of chain attacks?
