The implication is that the Time Lords will be able to reproduce sexually in future.... and this is entirely consistent with there being children on Gallifrey in "Day of the Doctor". As for the earlier appearance of a young Master, in order for a contradiction to be established, it would have to be demonstrated that some novel or other stated that EVERY house loomed new Cousins as fully-grown adults. This may be the case for the House of Lungbarrow, but I don't recall it being ruled out that other houses might not loom their replacement members at a smaller height!
