At any rate l believe Red Bull isn't on deck with the "new" F1, although I follow less closely these days.
Their teams went to Honda primarily as Honda is giving them equipment instead of needing to buy it. Red Bull has a contractual obligation to be in F1 up to a certain date.
Red Bull markets itself on a different premise than Liberty is taking F1. The move to Honda allows Red Bull to spend less yet still keep their contract. If it doesn't work out Red Bull will leave when the time is up. If it does work out they will likely stay as long as the team earns money.
