First, as in the previous N times, the reset was on the first day (cage was on the same day as the helicopter and the airport), so this reset was not disorderly, but acted according to the original rules.
Second, why is the timing slightly earlier? Because Omega was dead and the Earthlings were victorious, the general sent Cage to the battlefield and the entire time flow was changed to be non-existent from the beginning, so there was no way to go back to the airport, but to return to the helicopter a little earlier.
Finally, to answer a small question, why does the omega die and the cage is still reset? I guess it may be that the cage death is a little earlier than the omega's complete death, so the last reset can still be performed with the lingering omega.
