Only problem is that there is no proof that a person's Semblance comes from the soul. It may be a genetic factor, similar to the X-Men. Now obviously you could make the argument that Jaune's Semblance didn't appear until after his Aura was unlocked, but then again Jaune was never in a life or death situation before entering Beacon or had any training, so obviously he wouldn't know he had a Semblance.
