Unlikely, since they would also know that Sinclair needed to
stay on B5 for all of 2258 if they were not going to alter
and possibly screw-up the timeline.  Remember, Sinclair did
some important things when he was on B5 in 2258 (saved
Delenn from the Soul Hunter, headed the mission to get the
crew off of B4, etc.).
