No, not necessarily a comeback or anything, but definitely some sort of flashback and actual canon presence.

Minus and Broly (which repeats Minus) are the current canon, they don't have the time jump and there's no contradiction. The time jump is the Toei movie, it's not more canon than the original movie or the games. In fact, I'm pretty sure both the original movie and the SSJ Bardock movie were decanonized by Minus and Broly which strongly suggested that the future sight thing never happened. Bardock is just suspicious.
I'm looking forward to this clarifying the situation and giving us new info - but I don't expect the time jump to be canonized, or anything time breaker related.
And if Granola was a kid when the apes attacked, then there's no indication that Bardock was alive after the destruction of Vegeta. You say it'd be odd for Bardock to save them while he was working for Frieza, but that's what I'm looking forward to : this is definitely going to tell us something about him before the events of Minus. Like, just give me literally anything as long as it's new canon.
That being said, I'm not too fond of this big coincidental gathering. There's a Namekian who escaped the ancient near-death of his race (same time period as Kami/King Piccolo), there's the Saiyans, and there's even Bardock.
edit - oh yeah, I remember people aren't liking Bardock as a kind guy because he was supposed to be a regular mean killing machine Saiyan. I do hope he's not made into a full good guy but I don't really care if they do (the BoG movie already hinted that Saiyans could have a good heart with the first God Saiyan).
If I struggled to the end of my determination, to the end of my way of life with my followers, if the result is ruin, then this ruin is inevitable. Grieve. Shed tears. But you cannot regret.
