   No it's not. Not the way that you describe it. If all solar ejecta
is on free-fall ballistic trajectories which return to the Sun, then
no matter how the bits & pieces interact, the average trajectory will
always return to the Sun. It's dynamically impossible for freely
falling ejecta to "somehow" find itself in a stable orbit which
bypasses the Sun. It takes some sort of further interaction to do
that.

   Suppose that a planet is spewed from the Sun. Once it's on its own,
that planet needs "assistance" to change its path from a Sun-returning
to Sun-bypassing. The planet needs to spit out some ejecta of its own,
or it needs to collide with another non-Sun-returning body in such a
way as the ejectile-planet's momentum is changed just so.

   But if the ejectile planets issue their own sub-ejecta, then what's
the likelyhood that they *just happen* to all tend to impart their
delta-V at exactly the time place to put each of them into near
circular orbits? Hmm? And if they all entered their present orbits by
interacting with 3rd bodies, then [1]- what's the likelyhood that
those interactions tended to impart delta-V's which place the ejectile
planets on near circular orbits? [2]- If 3rd party non-Sun-returning
objects are the key, then where'd they all come from to begin with? It
then becomes necessary to propose a planet forming process which is
independent of Solar ejecta, and this is the sort of model which is
already avalailable.

   Now of course, one might say that this still doesn't preclude Solar
ejecta as the source of at least -some- of the planetary objects. But
then it's necessary to  point out that, even though the Sun blasts
huge tonnages of mass into space, that mass is still so rarified as to
constitute a cleaner vacuum than is attainable in the laboratory.
