I thought this is pretty clear, and addressed in pervious episodes.

Young Alice went to Wonderland, but when she came back to Victorian England, her father said she had been missing for a very long time, and she didn't know that at all. Also, after Cyrus fell off from the cliff, Alice went back to Victorian England and spent a year there, but in Wonderland, Cyrus only spent a few days in Jafar's cage.

These proof that the time in Wonderland is slower than other worlds, and not completely frozen from Regina's curse. 28 years in Storybrook, maybe just equal to a couple of months or even weeks in Wonderland.

I think it's not about the writers who never read their notes, it's about the audience who don't watch the show carefully, and point out the "mistakes" caused by themselves.
