 Has history changed since then? If so, did it happen offscreen between
the Christmas special and The Robot Revolution? Or is it a side
effect of the timey-wimey stuff surrounding the Miss Belinda Chandra
star certificate?

 It seems like timey-wimey is a great way of explaining away poor
writing. Or maybe more accurately, a way of not having to fill in the
gaps with illogical plotting.
 

Or am I just overthinking everything again?

 I often think Russell T Davies overthinks things. When you stop and
think about a lot of what he writes it doesn't always add up properly.
When he has a big idea the actual details seem to be minor irrelevances.

The same can be said for pretty much every time travel story ever written. They simply never make sense if you apply a tiny bit of thought.
