While Akatsuki is not exactly known for strong punishment of insubordination, we also already know Itachi didn't really cared for Itachi. He wasn't asked to capture the Three Tails, why would he take risks by doing it? What exactly are you talking about when you say they couldn't seal Isobu before Shukaku? Sealing capability, or canon order of capture? If you're talking about order of capture, yes, Isobu was about fifth or so to be sealed. The only restriction in terms of capability was that Kurama should be the last one to be sealed.
