The plan was apparently to turn the fruit to chakra edibles (Momoshik references collecting chakra and that he's surprised it's so scattered) and Kaguya went against that plan by eating the Shinju fruit. Well, since Kaguya came to the Earth with the entire clan (or at least the part of it) and then departed to the Moon under Hamura's leadership (according to the Jin no Sho), I'd also say Momoshiki/Kinshiki seem to be the ones breaking away from the main clan. Or there is really a chance they belong to the different branch of the clan (but not necessarily Main/Branch house, as I said, there's no sign of such a division before Hamura settling down with them on the Moon) which has never visited the Earth. But I'd bet on the first option cause Momo/Kin operated alone all the time, without any support from another dormant Ootsutsuki descentants.
