This is a quirk in the law that happens often when a tax year tax credit is pre-paid during that same tax year. Since the credit is really for 2020, and the child does not qualify in 2020, they should not get it for 2020.

But it was pre-paid during 2020 based on 2019 facts.

However, if there was no baby born in 2020, they would not have to repay it for the now 17 year old!
