John never said he left the gang in 1905. What IS a plot hole (rather, retcon), however, is what the Strange Man said. He said John was "shot" on the same ferry heist Dutch killed Heidi (ie, the very beginning of RDR2). And even though he doesn't explicitly say it, it's obvious what he also means by "shot" is "left for dead". But in RDR2, John wasn't abandoned or even shot in the ferry heist, he was shot and abandoned in the train robbery.
