It is hard to know for certain what this means but it appears that there is a possibility that Amazon is going to remove the ability to show the covers of personal documents (Send to Kindle) on the lock screen.

That is already the case, unless coincidence. All of my sideloaded PDFs show no cover, not even generic and all PDF converted through send to kindle to PR show generic cover. I distinctly remember seeing the real cover of a sideloaded PDF prior to this update.
Further testing also didn't show a cover for a sideloaded KFX comic, but after disabling and enabling cover view in settings, at least that is working again. Unfortunately even after disabling/enabling covers, sideloaded PDF still show no cover at all (just built in screensaver pictures), and only generic cover (name and author) for send to kindle PR.
FWIW, the sideloaded PDF and send to kindle PR all show "document" as type, and the sideloaded KFX comic does not show "document."
