Question that hopefully someone with more exact knowledge of controller instructions can provide insight on.

Situation:

Plane enters downwind and is given a #4 landing clearance. After inquiry about plane ahead is told “cancel landing clearance, continue downwind”.

Does this also imply that the controller will call base? Or can the pilot turn base when judged appropriate for spacing?
