That's the reason why Charon Industries kept Meta's helmet. It was because they knew that the armor enhancements in Meta's helmet were too valuable to loose. Locus knew Charon Industries had Meta's helmet and he knew the armor enhancements would come in handy at some point. After the Reds and Blues sent the Chairman, Locus and Felix their message that were ready to take them head on, Locus knew this would be the perfect opportunity to put those enhancements to further use and use them against the Blood Gulch Crew, the Federal Army of Chorus and the New Republic. I'm not saying this is official information about Season 13. What I am saying is just my speculation on why Locus would want Meta's helmet in Season 13. I don't know if this will actually be official or not but either way  this is a good reason why Locus would want this in his "trophy room".

P.S. I agree on the fact that Locus is not the Meta who came back from the dead in Season 10.
