Correct interpretation...

意思 : 事后才采取措施，但已无济于事。

Example : "今日军师升帐，大哥须要计较此事，不要做了马后炮，弄的迟了。”

Seems in edmw its not used correctly ?

But i find it weird that this killer move in chess is used to describe something negative

How on earth could you possibly interpret it as horse behind cannon? Even your own words clearly show you which sequence matches the saying.

In chess, it means moving the cannon after the other side has moved their horse, hence too late.
