Magically, Naruto is the first time in the entire manga where a jinchuuriki could be saved by resealing its bijuu. It's not a retcon. Kushina was already too weakened when Minato was in a position to reseal Kurama. Naruto on the other hand was on medical attention pretty much from the start. Had Kurama been captured earlier, Kushina would've survived just fine.
