That works. Also since in the main timeline Shiny Luminous is the "life" of the Queen, it stands to reason that Sayaka looked a lot like Hikari Kujou when she was human.

Also thinking about it, Ancient Precure is going to be kind of a dark season. According to their official bio, the Trump Kingdom Cures lost against Proto Selfish, Kyoko winds up sacrificing herself to seal the Shadow Lord (and we know what eventually happens to her in the Prism Hearts movie) and Sayaka basically loses everything at the end, gaining a brand new identity and purpose in the process.
