Many factors play a role, but just check the other shows and you'd see that Once is still the cream of a crop (or worse shows on ABC). ABC isn't going to cancel like 8 tv series in May and season 6 is confirmed. If they can't replace the other shows with anything good, Once may ride on its way into 7 or 8 (Can't see it going on forever because the writers sort of overplayed a number of things.).
