Eh, I do not think there is any strong evidence in there at all. First of all, Raiden in the Deja Vu mission was originally exclusive (untill they decided to have it on both platforms). The comment Kaz makes about seeing Raiden again more so hints to a possible Rising 2 (which would be awesome) IMO rather then seeing him again in TPP.

A Days of Future Past would be interesting but it would not at all fit the theme of race and revenge, nor would it really fit the whole idea of personally going through Big Boss's descent into "evil" and becoming the villian we know in MG1 and MG2.

As for Kojima reinventing the series, that's already happening, the darker tone, the more realistic approach, even though he keeps some pretty unrealistic things in there and a bunch of humor during gameplay, the story is far darker then previous one's and Big Boss looks a lot more realistic then he ever has been, both appearance wise and movement wise.

As for showing nothing beyond the Kaz mission, not really true. We've seen bits of what happens after Kaz, the torture scenes, the ash scenes, the war children, Big Boss meeting with Skull Face. But showing us more (like they did with Ground Zeroes) would just ruin their own story and spoil it all.

All in all, I don't think Kojima would use the time travel thing, unless it was in the same way as the Secret Theater video from MGS3, Snake Eraser, with Raiden trying to kill Big Boss so that he'll be the main character.
