Another option, using a anonymous function:

$lastElements = array();

$findLastElements = function ($array) use (&$lastElements, &$findLastElements) { //create anonymous function

    foreach($array as $key => $value) { //loop trough the array
        if (isset($value['categoryNested']) && !empty($value['categoryNested'])) {
            call_user_func($findLastElements, $value); 
        } elseif(isset($value['categoryName'])) {
            array_push($lastElements, $value['categoryName']);
        }
    }            
};

$findLastElements($array); //call the function

print_r($lastElements); //print the result

You can try this. 

<?php
$a = array(0=>array(
   "categoryName"=>"category1",
   "categorySlug"=>"categorys1",
   "categoryNested"=>array(
        "categoryName"=>"category2",
        "categorySlug"=>"categorys2",
        "categoryNested"=>array(
           "categoryName"=>"category3",
           "categorySlug"=>"categorys3",
        )
    )   

),
1=>array(
   "categoryName"=>"category4",
   "categorySlug"=>"categorys4",
   "categoryNested"=>array()   
));

$cats = array();
foreach ($a as $cat){
    while (isset($cat["categoryNested"]) && count($cat["categoryNested"])){
        $cat = $cat["categoryNested"];
    }
    $cats[] =  $cat["categoryName"];
}
print_r($cats);
