That makes sense. There's also the timeline of Obito returning to Konoha after Madara saved him instead of going rogue, which Obito saw imaginary visions of in the actual story. Kakashi and Obito are shown to be much closer in this imaginary world, thanks to the Battle of the Kannabi Bridge and Rin's death.
There, Kakashi would definitely have the incentive to teach Obito the Chidori, and maybe that could contribute to Obito getting recognized and then becoming Hokage.
