I know right. I'm extremely out of the loop with Doctor Who, but I'm sure that's not how it works.

But hey, Billie Piper is awesome so whatever works for them.

The 50th anniversary had Tom Baker make a cameo as a future incarnation straight up telling 11 that he might "revisit some old favorite (faces)", then 12 subconsciously chose a face from someone he met in one of 10's episodes, and then 14 took 10's face again for a few episodes. So yes, they explicitly opened the gates for a previous actor of a different character to pick up the role (and even a former Doctor). I think there have also been some rumors coming and going about Jenna a couple times, ever since Clara pretended to be the Doctor in a couple of episodes.
