Hi, my Armory shows this label in comments for a new tx.

This means that that transaction could essentially disappear while it is unconfirmed. Either the transaction opts into RBF or it depends on unconfirmed transactions. Either way, that transaction could be replaced while unconfirmed.

Hi!
So what is the cause of this? What would be the worst possible outcome?
Thanks!

This means the incoming Tx is RBF flagged or spends from a unconfirmed output. Worst outcome is the original output is double spent and you end up with no coins. ELI5 is wait on a confirmation.
