Kate being the Brigadier's daughter would only be mentioned on a few pages. Missy being the Master, because you're linking to the Master, would cause a more widespread problem, had it turned out to be false. That's the essence of it.
We knew the finale would clarify, so waiting a week seemed like the best decision. It was a purely pragmatic choice.
