There is no requirement to land at the nearest suitable airport with a brake temperature warning. The requirement is to lower the gear. The higher you are the quicker the brakes will cool. The longer you take to fly to a destination then the cooler the brakes will be when you land. It is the people who elect to land immediately at a nearby airport over max landing weight with hot brakes that face the biggest danger.
