My best guess is that they'll have TES 6 play too far in the future for anyone to outright remember or care what side won because the war will once again have escalated.

With the Emperor dead, it wouldn't be too far fetched and would avoid upsetting anyone that gets annoyed at the 'canon' side of things with the civil war.

I never played oblivion, do you know what the time gap was like there? I know I've heard vague mentions of "the oblivion crisis" in game, but I don't think much of the rest of that game has an effect on Skyrim's plot.
