I have a little theory on why the game designers chose to utilize the original RSE Maxie and Archie instead of their ORAS counterparts. Please give input if you would like to.
My theory is that the Primal Reversion forms of the two titans would have been too much for Maxie and Archie to handle, regardless of whether the PC interfered with their plans or not. Once the Primal Reversion forms were activated, Maxie/Archie would have lost control of the titan (even with Master Balls on hand) and the world was destroyed via drought/flood.
In the original Hoenn games, if the PC did not interfere, Maxie/Archie may have stolen the correct orbs, and since Primal Reversion does not exist in the original Hoenn, Maxie/Archie had no issue controlling the titan without the PC's interference. Also, even if Maxie/Archie stole the wrong orbs, without the PC things may have worked out for them in the end anyways.
Thus, in ORAS Hoenn there was no reality where Maxie/Archie would have succeeded, while in RSE Hoenn there was, so that is why Episode RR has the original Maxie/Archie rather than the reworked ones.
