This implies that in a Rb or Cs there is not a voltage reference source?
Yes, that's right, there is no voltage reference with a material
effect on stability or accuracy.
How about the temperature and C-field control? Aren't those based
on keeping the output of a sensor stable compared to a voltage reference?

Good oven design is typically done with thermistor/resistor bridges
which are ratiometric and definitely don't depend on a reference.
In the 5071A, the C field is controlled with
a Zeeman splitting check, hence no reference involved. In
older Cs standards, the C field accuracy depended on a reference
but it didn't require a very good one to get sufficient accuracy
in the C field. In Rb standards, the C field is so crude it
is often adjusted using a pot.
