Chemistry Feasibility Help

The answer to this is 5439 K

The question then asks, state what would happen to a sample of gaseous water that was heated to a temperature higher than that of the above answer.

What would happen to the gaseous water?

So a higher temperature than the one above would mean that the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen is not feasible because Gibbs energy is positive. So the reaction favours the backward reaction instead as Gibbs energy will be negative. Is this explanation correct?
