Entirely different lineage.
Tiktaalik was a lobe finned fish. Mud skippers are ray finned.

>Mud skippers are ray finned
If they were ray finned fish then there is no possible way they could walk on land.

Only lobe fin fish like tiktok can walk on land not ray finned fish

There is a multitude of ray finned fish species that display similar morphological adaptations with Batfish being a notable example as well as pic related which is classified along with anglerfish.
