Isn't the possibilty there that God meant for this to have led to the cannonization of the Priest instead of this nun? Maybe God was just trying to keep this saint alive a little longer to do His work.

Probably not the way the church handles these matters. God would have known what was needed to clinch Sr. Faustina's sainthood.
I would venture that it is God's purpose to make the priest a saint, too. He wants all of us to become saints (protestants included), even if we all don't get the formal recognition from the church.
So, yes, you would be correct.
