It's possible, but as Kenshi mentioned with Post-Rage Boost SSB Goku = Post-FT Arc Hit > Halo Zamasu, it seems pretty unlikely unless assuming Hit was vastly stronger than his U6 Arc self (which isn't suggested to be the case when Goku explicitly wanted to see his assassination skills rather than his gains). I'd say this is one of the situations where you can severely doubt what the staff say due to what's presented clashing with it, much like one of Toei's staff saying Anime ToP Roshi was weaker than Goten and Trunks despite how he performed against Galu.
