To add to HM, I'm thinking that Rumple couldn't simply see the future was akin to the time-looping/ freezing spell in the Dark Curse....it was an area of effect. Once Rumple set foot on Neverland, Time stopped for him and anything on the island.

In other words, time passed by normally outside and maybe even even on the island, but in that world, it seemingly stops. Aging stops. It's that classic example of being in a dark cave for a long time throws off your biological clock and you won't know how much, if any timed has past. Maybe you were up for a whole day, maybe not.

The Day/Night thing might just be tied to Malcolm/Pan's lifeforce or his choosing.
