Yes, but they're man-on-the-side already, and they already have the QUANTUM set of attacks and similar for actively racing an MITM on any TCP/UDP/ESP/etc/IP connection they want - and if they have a CA trusted for the purpose by the relevant endpoint, they can safely man-in-the-middle TLS, IPSec, etc. That's what the diagram shows, essentially: the front end of that attack.
