Believable other than the massive plot hole that they'd have no reason to live on the island for seven years leaving everyone thinking they were dead, and huge chunks of time would be required for obtaining food.
Really, the point of the timeskip was not to reduce the power of all the characters so that they'd suddenly have to be crawling back up the power tiers. As ellessarr said, it was to refresh the content. Seven years have passed, things have changed, new issues have cropped up, new enemies and rivals have appeared, etc.
