Here's why, Barry would have to survive after that event to even concieve a daughter in the first place, so how could she have existed to go back in time to prevent that "Death" from happening? Plus that wasn't the mistake she made. I highly doubt it.

Either way, The Flash vanishing in 2024 would mean that Nora grew up without her father. Also, messing with time is a bad thing for speedsters period, and Nora has changed the past at least five times in this season alone. Not even Barry (current Barry) has time-traveled that many times in one season.

And perhaps Barry wouldn't have died from the satellite, but we don't know that because we didn't actually see the aftermath of the first time. Perhaps Nora's mistake was going back in time by a few seconds—thinking that the satellite was going to kill her father—and helping him when he didn't need her help.

Or it could be that the satellite did kill Barry the first time, but because Nora is a speedster, she stuck around long enough to go back in time and save him. I mean, the Reverse-Flash is still running around even though his ancestor committed suicide.
