They didn't rule on the question of the maps but rather said those bringing the suit did not have the standing to do so. For the purposes of the 2018 elections, it has the same effect as upholding the Republican maps, but the matter will be brought forth again.

So, short-term win for the Republicans. Long term, who knows?
