I don't think you can compare this to Redemption Island. In Survivor, Redemption Island is a season-long twist announced at the beginning of the game so everyone knows that they're not officially out until their buff is in the fire after losing a Duel. Because Redemption Island is a known factor from the start, we also get scenes at Redemption Island per episode, whereas the Battle Back is a one-time thing. Furthermore, the castaways still in the game attended the Redemption Island Duels and could thus influence the outcome there and vice versa (think of the numerous times this happened in Blood vs. Water, as well as a few other times in Redemption Island and South Pacific).

If we're going to compare this to any Survivor twist, the Outcast twist would be a closer match. Both times, eliminated contestants competed to have a chance to get back in the game in a one-time twist. In the Outcast twist, two contestants returned, while the other 4 who didn't were still considered 16th-13th place and the 2 that were eliminated because the Outcasts won the challenge were considered 12th and 11th place.
