This looks to be not very exciting to me.
In sum, Uber was like "yo appeals court since Prop 22 passed let's re-think that injunction you granted making me treat people like employees."
And the appeals court (today) just said: "no thanks, take it up with the trial court." Which I expect Uber to do promptly.
Sorry folks, this is just lawyers getting paid.
You're right, and it's only a sliver of hope, but the history of Prop 8 shows us that courts can overturn propositions (Prop 8 banned gay marriage in CA but was overturned in district court on due process and equal protection grounds). I recognize that Prop 8 and Prop 22 are not the same, but there are valid equal protection and due process arguments against Prop 22.
tl;dr: It's a long-shot, but it ain't over till it's over
