Why is it masculine?
Jamones is masculine. While it does derive from Latin, the etymology provided is inaccurate. The word comes from Latin "*pernone" or similar forms related to ham/leg of pork, not "*gamon." Spanish masculine nouns commonly derive from Latin masculine nouns ending in -o (from -us) or from Latin neuter nouns ending in -um that became masculine during the evolution from Vulgar Latin to Spanish. The masculine gender of "jamón" follows regular patterns of Spanish noun gender inheritance from Latin.
