I doubt they'll do another combined fixed PHB type reprint anytime soon due to the special edition covers released Holiday 2018, but if 5e lasts well through the 20s I could see something coming out in summer 2024, 10th anniversary of the edition.
I too was mostly talking about 6e, which I expect we'll be into by 2030, just due to the nature of how many lessons will have been learned over the years of 5e, and the need to update enough that it's worth printing a new edition. WotC have said they want to stick with 5e as long as possible rather than break the player base, though. I imagine any 6e would be more like how 2e was somewhat compatible with 1e AD&D, or like how Pathfinder is somewhat compatible with 3.5e D&D.
