Sovereign wasn't an original Reaper, Harbinger was. What you have to remember though is the meaning of the word gestalt. You can't think of the preserved minds being the same and all having free will and fighting over control of the Reaper. It is a union of minds that act together as a single consciousness and most likely that consciousness has accepted the Reaper solution as the best and only solution and that is why they do not rebel, even if created in a cycle.
