Wouldn't that be forward in time? "Ragnarok" is the Norse version of the Apocalypse (also, in actual Norse mythology, it comes around in cycles if I remember correctly, with the world just resetting to the beginning and going again; although that would mean Thor could theoretically go back to stop the last Ragnarok, I can't see why he would, seeing as that would negate his own timeline). Normally, yes that would be forward in time. But in the comics, the Asgardians are part of a cycle with Ragnarok killing them all so they can be reborn. This somehow feeds the powers of a race know as the "Those Who Sit Above in Shadow". If the movies follow this then using the Time Stone, Thor could go back to the last Ragnarok to find a way to stop the next one.
