The problem with DLC civs between expansions is that they can't incorporate expansion mechanics in them. That would require people buying the DLC to also buy the expansion, which could potentially hurt sales.
I'd rather they continue working on Civ 6 and make 3-4 expansions before they start working on Civ 7.
Between vanilla and R&F they made 6 DLC all while working on an expansion for XCOM 2. I suspect they are gearing up for another XCOM 2 expansion due in the late spring or summer (evidence: SteamDB activity, hiring artists). They could produce DLC again while also working on the XCOM 2 expansion, and if that is the case, I expect to see related activities on the Civ VI SteamDB page.
However, if we don't see activity on the SteamDB until the XCOM 2 expansion is almost complete, and we also see some hiring at that time, then there will probably be no DLC and we will see another expansion around this time next year.
