Because of the hyphenmins settings, righthyphenmin is 2 in ngerman
so there is a breakpoint after the a. More interesting is why only
the a is affected:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\begin{document}
\usefont{T1}{wela}{m}{sl}
Late Lute Lite Lete Kate Mate Xate

\righthyphenmin=3
Late 

Latex 
\end{document}
