The rules say:
This is more to the benefit of the case when a monster is killed outside of Tokyo. The player in Tokyo Bay must leave, although was not attacked (so can not yield using the normal rules).
It is not clear from the rules what happens when the monster in Tokyo being killed drops the number of players to 4, but we always play in a way that the monster in Tokyo Bay first moves to Tokyo and then, if it was an attack, can decide whether to yield. Depending on that the attacking player either stays outside (if Tokyo stays occupied) or moves to Tokyo (if it is vacant).
This is how I understand the rules and how we play as well.
