It went like this, starting from the Witch Hunts timeline: Balder saw Rosa, Loptr shoot the card at her, heavily injuring her. He gets abduced by Loptr before he saw Rosa die. He went hunting down Loki and Bayonetta, deceived by the Prophet. He then returned to the Witch Hunts, went through Vigrid to try and prevent his lover's demise. He finds that Loptr is now at the side of Rosa, retrieving the card he shoot moments before, meaning, Balder returned to the training grounds JUST after his past self got "kidnapped" by Loptr and transported into the present day.

He doesn't NEED to meet his younger self; we saw two Cerezas, but neither of them saw each other. Same happened with Balder. His past self got abduced by Loptr just before his current self managed to get to Rosa in time, preventing them to meet each other. It's not that hard to understand, really, it's actually a very simple Time Travel plot.
