Rumors of Power Ranger's cancellation started before RPM began to air. It was later confirmed by informed sources in the fandom. Over the summer or early fall it came out that Disney was going to air a remastered version of MMPR. Not on ABC Family though, on ABC Kids ( in place of RPM). This will begin in January after RPM has finished its run. So the rumor is true. No first run episodes of Power Rangers are being produced. We are getting MMPR instead.

Since PR was SAG during the Saban Years ( actually starting with Space but retroactive from MMPR), Disney will have to pay royalities to any Saban Era regular actors every time a rerun is shown on tv. They also have to pay Saban royalties for the old music. IIt stands to reason that it hasn't changed. The MMPR cast and Saban will recieve royalties from Disney. For whatever reason Disney has decided to pay those royalities. Or so I assume. Perhaps its not that bad now that they don't have to worry about production costs for a new season.

BTW, I was wrong about the DVDs. The royalty issue is not why the Saban seasons have not been released in boxed sets. Its because its something Disney generally doesn't do for its shows. So its just a matter of them deciding to do it. I would guess we are going to get some MMPR DVDs. But don't quote me on that.
