Of course not, and for the exact same reasons.
Predicting the motion of the lights in the sky comes from charts and the fact that the patterns are cyclical/repeating. It doesn't in any way depend on the conception of the shape of the world.

Fundamentally, our belief of the world and its workings has no bearing on that world - including when there is ostensible "predictive" "power".
The reason we can know when the sun will rise and set is because it has happened before, and is reliably periodic. Not because the world is any particular shape.
