Every Arrancar doesn't have to be dealt with in the Arrancar Arc. Yammy may well be part of the setup for the longer arc that Kubo said was coming after the "short arc" that is suppose to follow the Arrancar Arc.

If nothing else, this news confirms that the "Deicide Arc" was just a mini sub-arc of the overarching Arrancar Arc. Just like the "Turn Back The Pendulum Arc" and the "Lust Arc", which if you prefer to start counting from "341. The Envy" can also be called the "Seven Deadly Sins Arc".
