There was an interview with Junichi Masuda and Shigeru Ohmori recently. Among other things, it would appear that they, uh, de-confirmed the existence of the Battle Frontier.
I still don't quite believe it based on some certain structures existing in the game, but nontheless.

Go.
Interestingly, there is mention of the Pokémon World Tournament by a guy who speaks in Japanese in-game. I'll need to find the source of that, though.
Anyway, the Emerald Battle Frontier was a mix of really cool battling ideas and awful gimmicks that have thankfully not seen the light of day since then. I dunno, the way he worded it almost makes it sound like being rushed to completion, but I don't want to jump to conclusions.
If it's the picture I think you're talking about, it's fake:

A small note: upon reading the article again, I noticed he only mentioned the Battle Frontier not being included in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire - nothing about the likely future games of Gen 6. I think there's a decent chance that "coming soon" means "coming in a future game," not "coming as DLC for this game."
