Don't think Red Bull will drop M-Sport now. Especially since they're starting their Ford partnership officially next week. Unless,Ford has decided to quit WRC for good, that is... BP sold their majority shareholding of Castrol, so this deal may have done its course, instead.
The Castrol deal was linked to Ford as Castrol are the lubricant suppliers to Ford for production car manufacture. Any change in marketing policy from either, or a new deal for somebody else to supply Ford production cars could result in a change to the M-Sport rally car branding.
RedBull was always on winning vehicles or at least on those who was close to winning, not on those who doesn't even stand a chance.
