We know Rinnegan is part of Hagoromo's chakra and it can be recreated by merging chakras of his sons, but what's the deal with Momoshiki's Rinnegan in your opinion? Well, I don't think that Rinnegan is a power which belongs only to Hagoromo and his chakra. I mean, although he said that his chakra is required for Rinnegan awakening, it doesn't mean that it's truly his chakra, it's rather a specific chakra type which needs to be produced, like that of Uchiha (which allowes them to awaken Sharingan > MS). And since Hagoromo was born with that power only thanks to the genes of his mother who consumed the Shinju Fruit, I don't think it surprising that someone like Momoshiki, who ate the pills produced from the similar Fruit, developed a similar ability.
