In you current old arena shard most players will be inactive accounts. I doubt you will see much activity outside top-500. If you start over all 20k accounts will be more or less active and on top of that some of them will invest in the hyper drive bundle to get a significant advantage.
This, and it could be significantly less (a glance at the top 50 in game will give you a bit of an idea).
I’m (fortunately) on a mature shard (Jan ‘16) that has suffered a lot of attrition- it took almost a year after GLs were released to fully populate the top 50 with them - and there are to this day ‘guest appearances’ of JKL lead sneaking in to the 40s for their payout.
How many are casually active below that, I couldn’t say, but it sure wouldn’t take a dedicated returning player long to advance a fair ways in a shard similar to mine, and since OP has been around prior to Tournaments, there is a fair to middling chance this could be the case for them as well.
