I love MBB she’s an amazing actor. But there is nothing in Star Wars canon that suggest she and Kenobi interacted with each other. If this series takes place 10 after ROTS then Luke and Leia both would be 10 years old. MBB can act, but I doubt she can play 10 anymore.
In fact the hologram messages she puts in R2 she suggests Kenobi might not know who she is, to that end she introduces herself by mentioning that Kenobi knew her father. “General Kenobi. Years ago you served my father in the Clone Wars. Now he begs you to help him in his struggle against the Empire.”
I also think there will be a lot of push back against recasting Carrie Fisher. She is after all… our princess.
The article specifically notes that a younger actress would play Leia in Kenobi. The speculation is about a future series showing Leia at an age closer to Rogue One/A New Hope.
As far as Leia and Kenobi, Obi-Wan could protect/rescue Leia without coming face to face.
