C`mon, there was no reason for Momoshiki to lie back then, he didn't have any hidden intentions at all back then. All what he wanted was to show his superiority to the "lowly beings", which includes mocking them verbally as well. And the act of his superiority was demonstrated by Momoshiki practically, by absorbing Kinshiki and getting his power for himself, and it was perfectly suitable to show it's something Boruto and Naruto would never be able to do.
