Well, there's usually very little in most given seasons that narratively locks the stories into broadcast order. Does Talons have to be the season finale of season 14? Not really. Does City of Death actually come before Creature from the Pit? Not for any reason I can see. Now, obviously, there are parts of the classic run that have to happen in broadcast era. The Davison era, Trial of a Time Lord and a lot of the black and white stories have fairly clear linking bits. Mostly, though, broadcast chronology is used for narrative chronology more because it's easy than because it's necessary.

S25 is not broadcast in the correct order though for reasons given at The Greatest Show in the Galaxy#Production errors. I suppose that the production order is perhaps that correct narrative order, though I'm not sure that Remembrance needs to be the opener. I think it could be the finalé. But for simplicity, Shambala's order works well enough.
