Shemitas do not begin in the fall; they begin when Yehova’s years begin

Fwiw, this is well outside my understanding.

A summary of I've learned since first hearing about the Shemitah year from Rabbi Cahn can be found here and is defined as:

"the seventh year in the seven-year agricultural cycle, when the land is left to lie fallow"
That it begins in the fall, after the harvest, corresponding to celestial events, makes sense from an agricultural point of view.

Your description is fine until you get to when it starts.

It has to start when Yehova’s year starts, which is defined by agriculture, when agriculture begins, at the new moon that is defined by agriculture’s most important biblical event: The Aviv Barley, which is absolutely necessary for Passover’s wave loaves.

Cahn is no Rabbi, only Yeshua is Rabbi, and Cahn has no idea what he is talking about. Yehova will not change the beginning of his years to please the Pharisees, of which Cahn is one, by choice.

Yeshua rejected all things Pharisee in Matthew 15, 16, 23, and in the purpose of each and every one of his miracles, which was in each case to denounce one of the Pharisees’ Takanot.
