But if ko'e and ko'o are fixed, how can this change from time to time?

In the same way that something being to the left of something else can change from time to time. Would you have the same objections if the tense involved was "zu'a" instead of "ba"?

 

What role does current time play in determining the truth value of {ko'o
balvi ko'e}?

None that I can see, unless you make it "ko'o nau balvi ko'e".
