That is a valid concern.
The hides used for the interior need to be matched, for color, sheen and texture, so the interior is uniform.
It MAY be possible for a skilled interior craftsman to repair the damage for an invisible end result.
The broken bobbin thread is dangling on the interior. It might be possible to secure the ends of that thread to prevent additional unraveling. Then it might be possible to reattach the top thread to the panel, using a new interior thread, also securing the ends on the interior to prevent unraveling.
The repair method would ensure that the leather remains matched.
