Yeah... i think that the different Yamadas must fulfill some tasks to keep the flow of the time... if you remember, when Yamada started to look out for Chika, he falls from a cliff and in his mind he saw a guy with the mask he found in his house... and that guy was him!.
I think it's like Back to the Future with Haruhi's movie.

I was surprised and immediately interested when I saw scans
in English translations of Let's Lagoon had resumed, after a hiatus of almost three years. Let's Lagoon is easily unexpectedly deceptive to those going only on the first five or six chapters. It seems to be about a boy and girl from a middle school class that are accidentally stranded on a mysterious island. Not mysterious because of monsters or dangerous animals, but for physical changes to the island and its fogs. A big part of the story involves the relationship between two girls and one boy. Initially only one girl, Imase Chika and one boy with a family name of Yama. They are later joined on the island by another girl from their class, Kamiyama Nori, and others who come and go in the story. The most central plot element is in the contrasting thoughts, abilities, and boldlness of the two girls. Secondly there is something yet unsaid that has happened in the future past. Unsaid but repeatedly shown is the much greater abilities and driving boldness to survive of Nori, the second girl. The first girl although of a good heart has very limited vision and no independent foraging background. The two girls are also at very different points of sexual awaking, also compared to the male. As proof of this compare the attitude of the girls on his seeing their bodies, and their physically touching him. Chika has to be aided while Nori risks her own neck to save Yamada from a shark. It is only after this last event that Yamada seems to appreciate her depth of commitment to him, rather than see her as a pest. The deception comes in the focus of the first couple of chapters on Chika and Yamada. He blinded by circumstances thinks he is discovering a relationship. She, Chika is at best alot more ambivalent. This is best shown in her conversations with her sister about him. When Yamada wakes up from sleep or a dream he calls Chika's family name. When Chika wakes up she calls her sister, Mika's name.
