There's no situations where it matters that it activated in base.

If the cooldown starts when you gain the empowerment, then it'll be off-cooldown sooner for your 2nd trigger sooner.

If the cooldown starts after you use the empowerment, then it doesn't matter when you gain the effect, since it's only used when you use it.

Triggering it at full mana can be annoying - since you don't benefit from the bonus refund, but that has nothing to do with being in base.
