Section 6.6: Amendment. The WSFS Constitution may be amended by a motion passed by a simple majority at any Business Meeting but only to the extent that such motion is ratified by a simple majority at the Business Meeting of the subsequent Worldcon.
My interpretation of this is that if a Worldcon happens that doesn't hold a Business Meeting, then all business passed on dies due there being no "Business Meeting of the subsequent Worldcon" [emphasis mine]. If the Worldcon doesn't happen at all, then I'm more inclined to agree with you that everything skips forward to the next Worldcon that holds a Business Meeting.
Think of this in terms of a Worldcon committee who only cares about holding a big Hugo Award ceremony and blows off their other WSFS responsibilities as being too much of a hassle. Alternatively, you might have a Business Meeting that is unable to raise a quorum of WSFS members. Such a meeting wouldn't be able to vote on the business passed on, and thus none of it gets ratified.
