There aren't that many examples of teams that won multiple cups with more or less the same or similar makeup, so you absolutely cannot say "all but certain" when one of the best examples of a team winning multiple cups in recent history was not a regular season powerhouse.

In recent years you could look at:
Pittsburgh (2016 & 2009)
Chicago (2015, 2013 & 2010)
Los Angeles (2014 & 2012)
Detroit (2008, 2002, 1998 & 1997)
Detroit is somewhat debatable since three of those wins game before the salary cap era. The salary cap really changed how teams are built.
In which case, Pittsburgh, Chicago and LA are the only teams since the introduction of the salary cup to win multiple cups, let alone in a short period of time with the same (or similar) team.
Unfortunately, it's just too small of a sample size to pull anything meaningful out of how those teams were built other than:
1. Suck
2. Draft high
3. ?
4. Profit
