The flagship readers have not had more than two years gap between them in recent years, as these dates from wikipedia indicate.
However, this does not mean that the releases will continue at that rate. The Oasis 1 had a rather controversial battery design which was (probably) incompatible with waterproofing; likewise, the Voyage had somewhat divisive hybrid buttons. Thus, one gets the sense that the rapid releases of new devices was an effect of Amazon trying out various features to see what works, culminating in the 2017 Oasis 2 design, a design so nice they released it twice. So, I agree with you that the new line of Kindles could be years away.
