If you cancel it I'm not sure if the cloud still stores the photos that have already been uploaded but in this case it wouldn't matter since you plan on uploading them again anyway.
Also, are you using iCloud Photo Library or Photostream? Those are two different things. I'm assuming you went with iCloud Photo. So think of it like this....
- You have an iPhone 5 with 5 photos on it that you've uploaded to iCloud Photo
- You have an iPhone 6 with only 3 photos on it but you have iCloud Photo turned off
- You now turned on iCloud Photo on your iPhone 6 and it brings down the 5 photos that you uploaded before and you get impatient waiting for it to upload the 3 photos from the iPhone 6
- You end up turning it off (like you are now) and the warning message about the deleted photos will be those 5 that were brought down to you from your already existing iCloud Photo library.
Hopefully I made that clear lol
