re:But they introduced Jade, Sierra and Bryson as new primes and the sanctum citizens knew them and they knew they were not nighbloods

No, Jade, Sierra, and Bryson are hosts to the reincarnation of three old Primes: Miranda, Jasmine, and Caleb. It's new that they can create Nightbloods, but becoming a host is not the same as becoming a Prime. They're okay with new hosts, hosts are not gods - Primes are. Their religion may break down if there are new gods, if anyone can become a god.

Murphy's deal with Josephine and Russell is that he and Emori become Primes themselves - not just hosts for someone else to take over their bodies. That means they'd become Nightbloods and get empty Mind Drives that would backup their minds.

However, this deal would create two new gods which would lead to questions. Russell seeks to prevent this issue by deceiving the people: telling them that Murphy and Emori are hosts to Kaylee and Daniel. But this is just a deception - while Murphy and Emori likely became Nightbloods and received empty Mind Drives, they aren't hosts to other minds. They're new 'gods', not reincarnation of old 'gods'.
