Will there be a DTD in 5.2? Are there plans for DTD in 6.x?

A DTD would, in principle, be possible as well, but even less useful
as it would be both non-normative and have no (actual) support for namespaces.

As those people using DTDs (eg in publishing) are probably not worried about normativeness, and even less worried about namespaces, they would probably be happy with a DTD that just replicates 5.2's or 6.x's changes to element types, content models, and attributes, where that is possible, and if it is relevant for what is essentially paper/pdf/epub.

Years ago, I thought it would be possible to generate XSD and DTD

It's grown, and become much more powerful than DTDs were ever envisaged for, and I'm not sure many people still use XSD, do they?
