Depends on if Drakul is progenitor to all Vampires or just some.

Given the differences between the behaviors and origin locations of the courts I would think that they are examples of "covergent evolution" i.e. the development of similar traits from different sources. The Black court feeds on blood, but are all (or at least all but one) revenants. The Red court feeds on blood, but are changed while still alive. The White court feeds on emotions. We don't know anything about the Jade court or any of the minor courts. All are parasites, but there are enough differences that they wouldn't be a single evolutionary line

The Whites are also procreate via sex which is another point of contrast with the other two Courts we've seen. I wonder if the Jade's are astral vampires and barely have a physical presence at all?

I wouldn't rule anything out myself. The problem is that all courts (despite their wild differences in some cases) work together and are all referred to as Vampires. It's more than just similar traits; it's similar goals and even shared objectives. Doesn't mean they don't fight amongst each other of course, but so do Winter and Summer - and both of them are against the Outsiders and share the same origin. So I would say the shared origin is fairly likely, even if it isn't Drakul.
