This is most likely to happen. I also think there’s a strong possibility they are doing this to combat all the addons which block premium users. Those are staggeringly effective at messing up suggestion algorithm.
The problem is the CPU effort it takes to produce 100 Xits for your timeline, then search that list for everyone on your blocklist, remove those Xits, then possibly go back to the suggestion API to get more since there are only 40 Xits left, etc. etc. is cost prohibitive… Especially when you have millions of users with thousands of accounts on their blocklists.
