I don't consider myself as a good example. I've had a 24 year old boss when I was 34 and they were (is) one of the best leaders I've worked for. They've made hard decisions and been a voice of reason when tackling complex issues. I can't say I would have been as good at 24. I've had a boss with a masters degree that was in their 40s who was an absolute nightmare. People run the gamut. Maturity is important but not strictly dependent on age for all people. Yes there are some bounds, I'm not sure what they are or if they are consistent for everyone. To flip your example: would an older person listen to a younger person who gave them advice? If the answer is yes to yours and my inquiries we should think of a better heuristic for good leader that isn't strictly age dependent :)
