If Hogan wasn't a sore loser and a cheater, and let the final 2 in the Royal Rumble 1992,what would have happened if Flair and Sid got a chance to do something. Could Flair found a way to win anyway?
It is logically to think Flair vs a bigger man like Sid in a battle royal, is a mis match. Through out his career, Flair has found a way to beat the odds and beat the bigger man. For example Great American Bash 1985 or Starrcade 1993, Flair can be a giant killer if called upon. And when it comes to Sid, remember when Sid turned face in WCW in November 1993, it was a match against Flair, and Flair held his own against Sid in that match, so it is far gone conclusion that Sid would win. The dirtiest player in the game could find a way.

I feel like Sid would win to set up a Summerslam match with Hogan, probably. I know Sid much preferred being a heel, so it'd likely go there eventually.

Flair would have worked his standard match against a big jacked up face. He would have bumped like crazy for Sid, only getting the advantage by cheating & the finish would be what ever was desired depending what was desired coming out of the match.

Low blow and some unsportsmanlike move. Flair throws him out.
Hogan still at ring side goes check on his friend. Sid pushes him. They almost come to blows.

Flair, at the brink of exhaustion, is leaning on the ropes.
Sid, the big dummy that he is, sees this as an opportunity to clothesline Flair out.
Full speed ahead!
Flair ducks and Sid tumbles out.
Fin.

I'm a little confused by the OP's post. Are we pretending this was real?

Some sort of opportunistic but skilful win. Sid manhandles Flair for a few minutes and looks like he’s on the brink of winning, but Flair dodges a charging Sid or slips behind to toss him out. Flair had been built up too much in the prior months and the Rumble itself to go out so cleanly.

Assuming that happened and Sid didn't tell Vince that he'd rather be a heel?
Double Main Event at WrestleMania:
WWF Title - Sid, positioned with Hogan as his mentor, beats Flair for the title and takes over Hogan's spot while he's out
Cage Match - Hogan beats the Undertaker to finish out their series of three PPV matches before riding off into the sunset (for a little while)

I wonder how a Sid victory would have worked? He was the face, Flair was the heel and up until that point I don't think any heel left a PPV with the main event win. Flair wasn't exactly a huge draw for WWF at the time. I can't see a Flair/Sid match being very popular but I also can't see Sid going in to WM at champ and being the face with Hogan there. I personally would have booked Sid to win despite Flair's performance.

For the Rumble finish I can't think of a finish with those two that works knowing the end goals. Sid was brought in to work with Hogan. His face run was just to set up a turn. So him & Flair at the end of the Rumble doesn't work to get their unless something happens outside the ring. As for Flair if he survives & out lasts Sid he's a babyface. That's not what he wanted.

Flair needed the Hogan-Sid conflict to steal the win. It was essential to the story. He was exhausted after 60+ minutes and in there against the two strongest main-event babyfaces. The only way he wins believably is if they torpedo each other.
It would have killed Sid dead it was him vs. Flair man-to-man at the end and he got dumped.

The "what if Hogan wasn't a sore loser" thing bugs to. It was booked that way.

They could have done the exact same finish and just had Hogan/Sid swap roles. Have Hogan eliminate Sid, but have him do so accidently (even though that would have been a rehash of 89 and 90 for Hulk). Sid gets mad, helps Flair eliminate Hulk, and off they go. Sid would have come off like the sore loser, and Hogan as the screwed face. Instead they did it the opposite way and expected fans to choose Hulk.
