My take on the subject is that during/immediatly after the events of Skyrim, a Dragon Break occurs. That's because during 4E 201 and 4E 202 there are many events important enough to be considered the passage from one Era to another, including:

- The end of the Dragon Crisis with Alduin being banished from Nirn(again, and perhaps permanently?).

- The assassination of emperor Titus Mede II by the Dark Brotherhood...

- ... or the destruction of the DB.

- The end of Skyrim's Civil War. This would be a big deal because it could re-ignite the war between the Empire and the Aldmeri Dominion.

Since a lot of these outcomes are self-contradictory, a Dragon Break could explain the transition from Skyrim to TES:VI, since all possible outcomes would be considered true.
