It's almost certainly some sort of wacky mistranslation. Quite possibly they misread "papa" as "baba", which is pretty easy to do in Japanese. I don't know why Freeza would be talking with King Cold about Boo and Beerus, but it makes loads more sense than the idea of him having chats with Roshi's sister. Also,
baba is simply one of the Japanese words for a grandma or old lady; "Baba" isn't the actual name of Roshi's sister, it's part of her professional nickname: Uranai Baba/"the Fortune-Telling Granny". So Freeza might have been referring to
a "baba", and the translators just incorrectly assumed this meant
the Baba. Maybe we'll see Freeza's grandmother in the movie? Or it really could just be Roshi's sister. Crazier things have happened.

Sort of already happened, since Nail was Dende's brother. Remember, all the Namekians on Namek during the Freeza arc were the Great Elder's direct children, all 100+ of them. Dende himself explains this to Bulma et al, and says he's the Great Elder's 108th child.
