The specific words were "greater threat", not "stronger than". Considering the events implied by the Boruto movie, it seems Kaguya rebelled against the Otsutsuki homeworld. Considering that Momoshiki and Kinshiki were looking for immortality, they weren't immortal.

This brings me to three important points: 1: Momoshiki and Kinshiki were not personally what Kaguya feared. (since by logic, they couldn't have been around) 2: She made an army, suggesting that numbers were her weakness and not firepower. She was also apparently terrified about people stealing her power (As she was willing to murder her sons to take it back). 3: We know that Momoshiki can absorb jutsu and Kinshiki makes stuff from chakra. Judging by their power, about a third of a Fruit is missing (The piece that contains powers like Shikotsumyaku and Eighty Gods, but also the Sharingan (since Momoshiki lacked the tomoe on his third rinnegan).

All in all, this suggests: 1: the threat Kaguya faced was much greater than what Naruto and Sasuke faced. Although the Third Otsutsuki was scrapped, the revelation of Boruto's mark and kawaki's mark logically suggests the third otsutsuki does exist. Also keep in mind that the idea for the third otsutsuki may still have been in play when Kishimoto wrote these words 2: The threat was not just posed by fruit users but also by essentially a world - or multiple of Otsutsuki. She wasn't preparing to fight two people: she was preparing to fight a gargantuan number. Any of them could be given a chakra edible with some unsuspecting power to backstab her with. (Imagine giving an edible with All-killing Ash bones to some random guy. Fight head-on with the power-trio and slip in an attack with the ash bones. Judging from Naruto's tactics, Kaguya would've been fooled). 3: The threat to Naruto and Sasuke was nevertheless greater than Kaguya. The existence of more Otsutsuki (potentially with Fruit powers) would mean a staggering risk to the Ninja world, as they haven't recovered from the past world war.

(Keep in mind that about 75% -ish of the Ninja army was destroyed. it was halved after the first day. The fourth division was almost entirely obliterated. The Juubi destroyed many, then the Shinju trunk killed many more).

So in conclusion, Momoshiki isn't directly stronger than Kaguya. With some planning he could be (again: the point of the story), and as i've suggested before his ability to absorb ninjutsu would be hugely problematic for Kaguya (who mostly spams them). the main reason people disagree seems to stem from All-killing ash bones (and whether Momoshiki can absorb them).
