However, do you remember the episode Queen of Hearts where Regina sends Hook to Wonderland to kill Cora. She mentions that she does not want her to come to Storybrooke. Perhaps the Curse can enter other worlds, but something intervene?

I always believed this piece of dialogue meant that the curse would reach Wonderland too. Which explains why Jafar, the Red Queen and Alice never aged during the curse (Alice knows Will Scarlet, who was taken, from before the curse).
