It's very likely that when Martin smashed the amulet, the covenant between men and Akatosh broke, and now Akatosh is now free to roam of Alduin. The altmer of Summerset are likely to favor this, as they view Mundus as a prison, Aruiel (mer akatosh) as their savior and protect and thus against Mundus, and if Akatosh can devour this kalpa, the "prison" will be destroyed.
Perhaps what the dagonites did in OB was an unplanned plan B, as Dagon is the cursed kind leaper demon king, who taught many to cut corners and jump away from Alduin's mouth. With the removal of Mundus, Dagon could go back to being the leaper demon king again.
