A step back? Looks like a definite step forward to me. But in any case, not really sure why you think why negative mass particles must mean plasma cosmology? Whatever that exactly is?
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring 
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.

You've not heard of The Plasma Cosmology? Look up "electric universe"

"Step back" here meant suggesting something that, to me, looks like an idea from an older theory, not any sort of regression in a negative or pejorative sense. But I'm very very far from knowledgeable on any branch of physics, so the connection may well be shallow and coincidental, even a misunderstanding on my part.

From what I've read, it seems that there are major problems with fitting Farnes ideas to our observations, so perhaps the paper has been over hyped in the media.

The media is doing us no favors on so many fronts.  No clue if this one ends up being another example of poor media work, but their role in amping up the anti-science rhetoric is real to my view.  Its scary.
