ABC can decide that, due to the ratings declining, they can end the series. They do that all the time. However, they would only do it to a long running show like Once when they have something in the works that could potentially replace it and bolster ratings. And even though Onces ratings do not look that great, they still have better ratings than most of the other Sunday Night network shows (discounting the specials), so there is no immediate fear that ABC will terminate the series, and they definitely will not do so at this point without a fair amount of warning.

All that being said, the article did not say anything conclusive about there being anything beyond season 6. I read it more as "Once is not as close-ended of a series as Lost, and therefore does not need to plan on an definite end date. It could continue for as long as it needs to." Right, but doesn't that statement in and of itself imply that Season 6 is not the last season (or at least not planned to be the last season). Like if they had an intention of it being the last season, they would just say that, not say Once can go for as long as it needs to.
