Charlotte was attacking Homura non-stop and it could stretch like crazy. Mami would of had a hard time dodging all the time while fitting in the chance to attack back. On the other hand, Homura didn't even equip her shield for that fight...
I'll bet that Mami could have tied it up, though. In any event, the Puella Magi/Charlotte fight is an example of matchups more than raw power. Mami couldn't hit the witch because she needs time and space to set up enough weapons to do appreciable damage, and Charlotte's powerset was well-suited to denying her those two things. Homura's powers have a greater emphasis on movement, and her ability to drop bombs inside Charlotte allowed Homura a means to bypass much of her opponent's damage resistance.
