There might exist hypothetical planets beyond the orbit of Pluto that qualify as 'planets' as it is a likelihood that they just qualifies as dwarves.
Even if it's orbit is nearly circular by the 'rules' given it must also have the qualifications given below:
To be eligible to be considered as a planet it must meet the following criteria:
1.It is in orbit around the Sun.
2.It has sufficient mass to be in equilibrium.
3.It has clear neighbourhood around its orbit.
