One possibility that I see here is that there were plans for a Bumblebee song in the future, but Jeff decided to write one for this soundtrack early because he wanted to make it up to everyone for the soundtrack being so late. We know that Jeff has inside info on the future plans for RWBY's story, and that is where he draws inspiration from for the songs. Maybe he couldn't draw on the plans for whatever is going on with Blake and Yang in the future without spoiling it, so he wrote it this way.

I actually can't help but wonder if Yang is going to cross paths with Blake and Sun in Kuchinashi. I say that because volume 4 followed a theme of having RNJR pass through towns that had the Japanese names for various flowers that you can easily find the Japanese flower language for, and those flower language meanings actually had relevance to whatever happened in the episode in which RNJR arrived in that town.

So, what about Kuchinashi, which was mentioned in WoR: Mistral and had a sign pointing to it in Two Steps Forward Two Steps Back? It's the Japanese name for the gardenia, and in Japanese flower language, it means "secret love". If Yang is harboring secret feelings for Blake, it'd be perfect for the audience to finally see that in an episode where someone visits Kuchinashi.
 * Shion (Aster tataricas) - "Remembrance"; The episode itself was named Remembrance, and we saw Jaune using a training video that Pyrrha had recorded for him.
 * Higanbana (red spider lily) - "Abandonment"/"Never to meet again"; RNJR stops in this town to sleep in an inn, and we get a scene with Raven, who abandoned Yang.
 * Oniyuri (tiger lily) - "Wealth"; This town was being built by rich people from Mistral, and the episode shows the charity ball in Atlas, which had many rich elites in attendance.
 * Kuroyuri (Fritillaria camschatcensis, aka the kamchatka lily) - "Love, curse"; The episode in which Jaune and Ruby actually set foot in Kuroyuri ends with Ren and Nora holding hands for the first time as they watch the Nuckelavee head toward Kuroyuri through a forest.
