It's clear they tried to foreshadow some importance. The problem there is that they utterly failed to do it right. It was so subtle that the twist came out of the blue, the SEW were never even hinted, and less were their powers, and after that scene nothing was ever said about Ruby's eyes again, not even in the songs.

And to make it worse, it could've been far more reasonably interpreted as Ozpin simply knowing Ruby is Summer's daughter through the eye color. Which makes this an example that Occam's Razor can be wrong.
