With so many mutations going on it wouldn't be a surprise if he's created from Jiraiya's dna, because anyone blood related would make Jiraiya's love for Tsunade pointless, and being Jiraiya himself would make Jiraiya's death and character pointless. Apart from that it can be just Kishimoto toying with us and he teases him to be related to Jiraiya but turns out they are not even closely connected.
