Flight between non-Schengen countries with Schengen connection after exhausting 90/180 limit

I'm from Brazil (no visa needed for Schengen) and I'm still within the 90 days wait to be able to enter Schengen again, after spending exactly 90 days there.

Now I have a company trip to Scotland and I'm concerned I'll have problems when I get to France, in CDG.

I know that there's a thing called ATV (airport transfer visa) you can get when you're from a country without automatic short-term Schengen visa. This is not my case - I do have the automatic visa - but the fact there is a different rule for this case gives me the feeling that this is a special situation.

My guess is that it should be fine because I'm just connecting in Schengen between non-Schengen countries and will never leave the airport international area.

So, is it really okay or am I gonna get a fine and/or sent back?
