It seems like it may. But if Ono was replaced as head of Street Fighter in September 2018 by Ryozo Tsujimoto, then it's a bit harder to imagine Ono would be responsible for the SF6 delay (which seems to have been decided on recently given the release window for the Season 5 characters indicate it was a recent decision.) If Ryozo Tsujimoto was in charge since late 2018, he'd have c.a. 2,5 years to course correct SF6 before it's seemingly indicated release date (early 2021, judging by the Capcom Cup announcement that the champion from 2020 will not auto qualify for 2021. Which only happened once before when Kazunoko won in USF4 in 2015, because SFV would replace it on the tour next year.).

He wasn't replaced as head of SF he was replaced as head of a development division 2 which is different from being a game's director or producer, the replacement of CDD2's leadership was likely due to Tsujimoto's success with MHW which released in Jan 2018 plus he's is Capcom's founder's son as well. CDD2 houses Marvel, SF and games with online elements so even games like Resident Evil Resistance would be developed there, a reshuffle like this doesn't put Tsujimoto in charge of the game's development in anyway he'd only step in if something was going wrong and such a project like this would have already been in development before he became head of CDD2.
