Usually there is *always* room for an empty block at the bottom of a
page, regardless of how close the last block is to the bottom. So I
would check your next-to-last block to make sure there are no
space-after= constraints that are pushing your block to the following page.

Alternatively, have you tried:

    <fo:block keep-with-previous="always" break-after="page"/>

... though that should be redundant.

I hope this helps.
