It would also mean that the flashbacks occured 28 years ago and so alice would be a lot older It appears that the curse froze many worlds times for 28 years (FTL, Wonderland, Oz, VE, LWC, etc.) because of the reason you stated. LWM is the obvious exception, and while SB was frozen in time, the rest of our world just kept on moving.

That's because the curse was meant to ruin everyone's happy endings which resulted with everyone coming to LWM. You need a world that is still moving forward in time to have the curse be effective.
