I'm not sure about Seth isolating her to keep her from talking about his big plan. She seems largely ignorant to the machinations going on and only has political sway when making prophecies; the senate seems to do what they want with her otherwise. I doubt there'd be any issue if the twins suddenly changed their minds (and they didn't given they were still trying to get their twin vessels before giving up and going for Kiril and Elluka).

Your suggestion it was done to keep the twin gods from seeing too much (if you assume the twin gods can only perceive the world through those prophets who can commune with them) sounds more plausible imo.
