Time is a fickle mistress, and she offers many branching paths. In the S5 Finale we see multiple different possible timelines for if Rainbow had never performed the rainboom, courtesy of Starlight. Twilight eventually fixed the past so those alternative realities never come to pass, but the precedent is set for present actions observed in the past affecting the future of the past. We merely observe a timeline in which the past is restored, and the "unaltered" timeline continued.
Astral is in a similar situation to Starlight, though she doesn't want to annihilate the current progression. Are the ponies from the future from a future where she stayed behind, or from where she left with them? If she makes a wrong decision, she could destroy her own birth, seeing as her birth was after Yharnam's collapse and eventual erasure. The same goes for Celestia and Twilight's births.
It's quite the dilemma.
Ah, but the season 5 finale's time-travel only makes sense if one doesn't think about it too much.
(Also, you have to reply in the same chapter, or the one you are replying to won't get a notification. The only reason why I saw this is because I manually checked.)

Oof. Good to know :)
Eh, then think of time in this story as being a less confusing variant of S5 time travel since some of the principles are present here, like variable timelines/outcomes.
