Wouldn't be wise.
If the author is significant enough that the publishers care, the backlist will generate enough income the author won't care about getting blacklisted and simply self-pub the new titles. (C.f., Konrath.)
Moving forward there won't be much room for pettiness in publishing, just hardheaded business.
