She did run out of water. You have to conjure a specific amount of water to do that move and once you've reached the limit, you can't draw up anymore water as you are too far up and the bender won't have the physical strength or momentum to add in water from that height.

It's like trying to make a splash in a pool. The height of your splash is dependent on how much water you originally pushed up. If you don't push up enough water to begin with, the splash will not be big enough.
