No not wrong at all, not suggesting the OP did this you can have situations where you see the guard coming, buy the mticket whilst on the train, the email receipt will give the time of purchase
The Northern app won't sell you a ticket for immediate travel. I've tried to buy when I've arrived at the station. The transaction will not complete as there is "not enough time to deliver the ticket". There is a delay between purchase and the ticket showing up in the wallet.
