Hmm yes, they may be related, especially since in each diagram the globe is in the east.
If it is inspired by a ball game, I would certainly agree that it must be a metaphor or symbol as, I believe, most human figures in the VM are. I would be opposed to an interpretation as a literal ball game (those aren't played in the nude, after all) but as a metaphor? Who knows. The fact that there is only one object in play and the other players are reaching/lifting their arms might support this idea. Even in something like the snowball fight, you would expect more figures to hold an object, but here there is only one.
