Yes, but Sauron knew the 'ingredients' of the Three rings, so to speak. He knew how all the rings of power are and were made. He therefore knew 'what' to put into the Master ring to rule and dominate all othe rings, regardless of when they were created. The Three were more powerful then the other lesser rings that Sauron and Celebrimbor made together, but they were still using the same basic ingredients. Just like different cookies may taste better, but their ingredients are going to remain quite similiar.

Here's an example:

Say you are the greatest baker in the World and I am a godlike entity with incredible amounts of power and knowledge. Together we form a shop. You teach me your baking skills and I teach you ways to make them cookies better and more powerful. I teach you things you would never be able to do without me, just as you teach me how to make them cookies taste good. We end up parting ways after we think we know all there is to know of each other.

You go on to make a super batch of cookies that taste greater and are more powerful then the others we made, but you still used the information I gave you to make them along with your own baking knowledge which hasn't changed.

I go on to make the Master Cookie using ALL of my power and knowledge to do so, along with the baking skills I learned from you. I surely would know what ingredients and extra powers to put in there to control ALL cookies made by the skills I passed on.

Therefore, my Master Cookie will still influence your super cookies and since all cookies made by my craft and my passed on knowledge are bound to my Master Cookie, even if they were made before and I didn't personally touch them, If and when my Master Cookie is destroyed, your lesser cookies will diminish because I knew what to put into the Master Cookie to dominate all others and what to put into the Master Cookie to bound all others to it.

I hope that helps.
