This is likely, but it is weird that they didn't say Wish Henry. They tend to be very precise with this situation.

Perhaps OG Henry did receive a piece of advice from WRumple and that's what led him to leave SB. Perhaps it was a deal in the lines of either you leave SB for good or (insert any villainous thing here). I guess they just want people to be surprised? "A discouraged young Henry" - well, I imagine a lonely young Wish Henry would be discouraged and likely desperate for whatever deal Wish Rumple would want to make. This is probably also where the Wish Apprentice comes in and it leads to those unhappy ending storybooks in 7x22.
