Well initially this was the intended ending. The show was originally picked up for three seasons, but later the second and third seasons were cut in two halfs bringing it up to five. Since this is the finale of the inital order, they likely wrote this one planning on having it wrap things up in case they didn't come back.

When they got the go-ahead for season 6, they were probably very far into production of this season, possibly already in the Diamond Days arch, so they just decided to leave it the way it was. My guess, season 6 will either be a What-Happens-Next or Where-Are-They-Now type of thing, or the movie will set up a new threat to the Gems.

With Homeworld now going to change, and the Diamonds on Steven's side, I think it would be cool if we got a group of Anti-Crystal Gems. A group of Gems who believe the old way of Homeworld is better than the new way, and want to rebel against the Diamonds and Crystal Gems because they believe conformity is the only proper way. As an added, that unknown heart Gem from the trailer could make an interesting Anti-Rose, based soley on their gemstone's similar shape (both pink, both pointing in an upward direction, but multi-faceted). Of course all this is just a baseless idea, but I think it would be an interesting idea for a story that stands on it's own but still isn't totally disconnected. It's also something that could probably be wrapped up pretty quickly allowing them to create another satisfying conclusion if they're not picked up for a season 7.
