Paul said "which ARE a shadow of things to come." He said that AFTER the cross. The things to come are yet future (from when he said those words). They were shadows AFTER the cross, because they were shadows of then future things when he wrote the words.
Interpretation? There is no interpretation needed to see that AFTER the cross those things were still shadows of things yet to come. That IS what he said.
