Not literal seasons but more like joy, to falling into sorrow, roughing it out the sorrow, then with 5 being spring, rising up to joy again I don't really agree with that analogy, and it doesn't sync with the shows structure, Season 1 went as intended, so I could agree with Summer for that season, Seasons 2&3 were mostly the same season("Fall" was the original Season 2 ending), so I could agree with the assumption those two combined were "fall",  but at best that leaves 3 episodes of Season 3 as "Winter" due to the time skip, because thematically and in relation to weather the current Season has little to no "Winter" feeling(aside from Weiss's arc).

RNJR is progressively seeming more hopeful, Yang spent barely any time moping, and even Blake seems unlikely to continue long without a goal to move forward. These are "Spring" themes. "Winter" themes are all about survival and lean times or time stuck with family.
