IMO, this is unlikely to happen. However, reclamation of address space is a common practice in the RIR world already today. It happens according to the address allocation policies. The point here is that any changes in holdership of the address space are happening in the registry plane and RPKI is simply a reflection of such changes. May be potentially more efficient than a whois database or an IRR, but pretty much the same.
