I believe he's talking about events in the following chapter (506), when Yama is attacked by Äs Nodt, NaNaNa and Bazz-B. Royd then switches with Yhwach, while Yama is distracted by the incoming Sternritter. Thus, Royd didn't defeat Kenpachi, at least that's how I interpret Haruoni's reasoning.

Still wouldn't make sense, considering Yhwach confirms that he was talking to Aizen for awhile and lost track of time while doing so. It is very doubtful that that conversation was short. Especially that short.
