Basically, yeah, it's not right for the mandatory challengers.
That happened to Mike McCallum when he was the mandatory for Duran's 154 lb. title. Duran was stripped when he fought Hearns, the other champ at 154, instead of McCallum. McCallum won the vacant title but never got a shot at Duran nor Hearns.
McCallum split from the Kronk after that.
