There is a lot of things that would conflict with that, like the fact that the Eternal Champion might be the same person as the Hero of Daggerfall, as well as the older protagonists ages. Only elven protagonists would be alive (age-wise) in the time after Skyrim. All the human and beast protagonists would have died already. Sheogorath always appears, either physically or just his voice, like any other Daedric Prince. The Nerevarine is somewhere in Akavir, if he hasn't died already. And who knows what is going to happen to the Dragonborn.

Bethesda likes to push away the previous heroes to let the new one shine, so they either kill them off or make them unavailable. The only exception is the Hero of Kvatch that is now Sheo, but other than him we will not be seeing any of the previous heroes. The most we will ever get is mention of them. And even when they mention them, they sometimes make mistakes along with it(Neloth in Dragonborn basically confirms that the Nerevarine is a male, even though it's up to the player what gender he is)

It's essentially impossible to have the protaganist of the previous games in one of the current games. This is entirely because the gender, race, and appearance of the character is chosen by the player, and it would cause a contnuity error(like for example, if i made my character in Morrowind a Nord, and the Nerevarine that would be in a current game wouldn't be a Nord, but a Dark Elf.)

It's always worked best for them to, as you said push aside the heroes and let the new ones shine and only briefly acknowledging previous heroes through mentioning(and usually not saying anything more than their name, to make it seem like the hero is still the same gender, race ect. that the player set it to, Sheogorath being the only exception. But with him an explanation could be as a Daedric Prince, he can appear in whatever form he wants.)

As for where it should be, I think Valenwood would work out the best, i'd love to live in tree houses in a tropical landscape killing ape-people and fighting back the Thalmor.
