That is actually entirely possible, considering that Miles and Kerry do make a habit of introducing, mentioning, or hinting to characters before they're important or significant or before it's time for them to actually do anything.

We got hints to Summer before Yang told Blake that story in Burning the Candle.

Winter was mentioned in volume 2.

Qrow was mentioned way back in the first episode of volume 1.

Ruby and Yang made mentions and comments about Tai in volumes 1 and 2.

They had Yang tell the story about the search for her biological mother before Raven saved her on the train.

They showed Cinder in volume 1, even though she didn't really do anything until volume 2.

We got a whole scene about Oscar doing farmwork before they started getting into the "Ozpin's soul is in this kid" situation.

Watts and Hazel haven't done much of anything yet, but they were introduced to us before they do anything so they won't come out of the blue. We were introduced to Tyrian before he caught up with RNJR.

Etc and so forth.
