It's possible that when the agency model was in force, the only deals Amazon could push were indies and small publishers (and pubs not in on agency pricing.) Now that agency is gone...they don't need to work with the smaller guys as much.
That's not to say I believe the article. Anytime one of us authors is "on the outside looking in" it's a case of "hey, what about me???"
So I can't say if it is happening or not, but amazon is constantly changing their selling algorithms and who they favor. They are constantly trying new things and it could be there is a new plan afoot that isn't benefiting some authors who saw benefits before.
Amazon also has its own imprints to take care of...
