Don't forget about bloody future soldier, though. I think that was a pretty big clue that the future had changed for the worse. My assumption is that he got shot as he was going through, which would mean either the resistance's time travel facility was being overrun by metal at the time or, more likely (I think) there was a battle raging between 2 factions of the resistance. If my theory is true, I fully expect a reveal at some point that it was Jesse herself who shot that soldier as he was going through. And then she probably followed him.
I've also thought about Jesse's future!John/Cameron comments and have wondered if she comes from a future where Cameron has been with John for 20 years. I discounted it, though, because then it wouldn't have made sense for Jesse to say to Derek: "imagine what he'll be like if he spends the next 20 years with her." For Jesse to come from a future where that was true and then say that to present day Derek would mean she already knew they were from different futures. And no matter how much she may lie or pretend, I don't think she could know that. So it's probably just that in Jesse's future, John captures and reprograms Cameron sooner than that he did in Derek's future. His use of the metal has been going on longer and is more widespread and problematic.
Your idea of Cameron coming from a point further ahead in time is a cool one. That's not a possibility I'd even considered. So far, everyone seems to have come from 2027, but that could make things interesting if one of the mysteries surrounding Cameron is that she's from a later date. I'm not sure what the implications of that could be, but I think I like how that could set her apart from all the other time jumpers in terms of what she knows about future war eventualities. If the future keeps changing, Cameron could have come from one in which everything is the reverse of Kyle's experience in T1. Instead of the resistance having practically won the war, it could be that Skynet had practically won the war and Cameron came through in a last ditch effort to reverse things.
