Spoilers obv but to answer:

At the end of Season Five, all surviving Wonkru members except Monty & Harper were put into cryosleep on the Eligius IV. In this universe (& much other SciFi/fiction, see the Human Popsicle trope) cryosleep pushes the "pause button" on the human body - you wake up without having aged a day from the time you went under. There's a lot of support for this sorta maybe being possible-ish, with a lot of asterisks - if we had the technology for that. Though when you're talking about a ship traveling near the speed of light, time gets funky because relativity, time dilation, etc. But still, what's important here is that he aged zero years while asleep. So though he isn't biologically that old (his body is still essentially ~29), it is technically that old because "paused" between most of S5 & S6, during the long time it took for the Eligius IV to get from Earth to the Alpha Moon, where S6 takes place.
