I think there's a much simpler explanation for the ending:

By rights, everyone died during that final attack on the Omega, including Cage. But the movie don't dare to end it with all our heroes dead. (And to be fair, it would not be a very satisfying ending if it just ended when Cage died.)
So the Omega blood infusing into Cage, causing him to wake up again at an earlier date, is just a cop-out. It's just to give a chance for Cage and Rita and J Squad to enjoy a happy ending. The Omega is dead, the war is won, everyone lives happily ever after. Cage will live a long and happy life and die peacefully of old age...
...and what happens after that, is not something you need to think about.

Well even if it's a cop out I think it's a cop out that's done quite right. Given that this is Tom Cruise, that the movie even made me feel like I want him to stay alive is no mean feat. Plus the final shot for a split second feels really abrupt but that quickly gives way to immense satisfaction. I gotta say Liman ended it just the right way.
Btw, when a blue alpha dies the day resets yeah? I'm assuming the aliens are clever enough to know this. So when they sensed that the humans were close to killing the Omega, couldn't one of the blue alphas take a hit for the team and kill itself? The day would reset.
