Ace Combat Infinity and Ace Combat 7 probably don't have interconnected plotlines. I don't think I've ever heard of Namco Bandai or Project Aces even SLIGHTLY dabbling in time-space nonsense.

I think this whole thing is that Ace Combat Infinity is LITERALLY just the funding campaign for Ace Combat 7, and this is PA's way of sugarcoating and romanticizing it. Or perhaps there will be an Arcade mode in AC7 involving the end of Infinity's plot line. And let's be real people. ACI uses the same engine as AC:AH. This is how I think they were able to announce AC7 for this year; they've been working on AC7 the whole time and only tweaking the AC:AH engine for the purposes of keeping things interesting.
