The MapBox Satellite layer available for tracing into OSM is sourced from DigitalGlobe[1], not Skybox, so it shouldn't affect OSM.

I think he's talking about mapbox's custom tasking that's still kinda being worked on. You'll be able to request fresh imagery through mapbox, that will be tasked to skybox (among others) through their apis.
