What status quo are you referring to?
In the beginning of the Android/Cell Saga, we had Goku alive and returning, but still somewhere in space, Vegeta training on Earth frustrated for not being a SSJ, Yamcha and Bulma were still a couple, Piccolo had bonded with Gohan but was still seen as an outsider (see Kuririn wanting an enemy to keep Vegeta and Piccolo as their allies), etc. That's a completely different set up from how the main cast is in the beginning of the Buu Saga. Now, in that case there was a big timeskip, but even between the Saiyan and Cell Sagas, for example, the initial set up is pretty different.
In comparison, after the Battle of Gods > Revival F transition, (Pan's birth, Gohan slacking and not considered one of the main fighters anymore, Goku and Vegeta training with Whis, Beerus hanging around), the status quo of most of the main cast has remained pretty much the same. Of course, right now we have the Future world which is pretty different from the last time we had seen it.
