Yes this is very likely. All it would take is a ecosystemal change that makes sharks and dolphins develop a form of mutualism. Over time they will evolve mutually together as their enviroments change and it is no great stretch to think that they will one day try to have sex and it will work.

What prey on dolphins?
Its natural predators are the tiger shark, dusky shark, bull shark, and rarely an orca may prey on dolphins.Answer:Dolphins are wonderful creatures who have been often known to rescue humans by pushing them to shore; they are also playful and have their own language. Contrary to orders by the EU, the Japanese still catch tuna in their nets, which also catches and kills the dolphins. Dolphins are enlisted by our Marines to help them with projects, and dolphins have been trained to locate enemy ships and place bombs on them. They are a fun-loving, helpful mammal who assist humans in every way possible. They have killed sharks in order to save humans. A deadly predator of dolphins is the orca killer whales, which fight with and kill dolphins regularly. However, dolphins win that fight on numerous occasions.The Japanese could also be considered a predator of dolphins. Theycast nets for tuna, and the tuna swim underneath the dolphins forprotection, and although many fisherman release the dolphins, othersdon't.Dolphins have been used by the NAVY to aid in finding unexploded ordinance and other dangerous duties. Losing a dolphin is better than a human life, our military believes. They do not assist humans in EVERY WAY POSSIBLE, though. They are wild animals who hunt, mate, and raise young and have a sort of order. Depending on the species they have a matriarchial or patriarchial society. They also have a dark side. Dolphins natural predators are several species of sharks. There are mammal eating orca (the largest dolphin on the planet) which have been known to occasionally attack other dolphins. (reefannie)
