Though the Ryzen APUs you've mentioned are stock APUs, right? If the Scorpio is to use Ryzen, then it has to be on a semi-custom APU, but the semi-custom APUs won't come out until 2018, at least according to this article.

Hard to say really, that article is kind of outdated, I seem to recall AMD changed their release plans back in December, but I'm not sure if semi-customs will be available any sooner. I just know that Raven Ridge is coming this year, so there is a chance of Scorpio using some Raven Ridge cores. Even if Scorpio doesn't use Raven Ridge/Ryzen, I'm almost 100% certain that it won't just use an overlocked Jaguar like PS4 Pro. MS has said that balance is important to them with Scorpio, and a Jaguar CPU would most definitely create imbalance. PS4 Pro pretty much has Jaguar overclocked to it's limits (within reasonable console thermal limits), and it's still creating bottlenecks in many games, and that's with a 4.2 tflop GPU, Scorpio has a 6 tflop GPU. At the very least Scorpio will use 8 Stoney Ridge cores I'm sure, which is at least a 50% improvement over Jaguar (at the same clockrate) if I'm not mistaken. 

Ah, that's interesting. Either way, I'm really excited about Ryzen because the leaked benchmarks are looking very good.
