Just because an Oblivion Crisis didn't happen doesn't mean that the dragonfires were lit. After the end of the Reman dynasty, the Akaviri Versidue Shaie and his son would rule as Potenates for hundreds of years. They were neither Emperors nor dragonborns and so they couldn't have lit the fires nor would have been able to wear the amulet. But an Oblivion Crisis didn't occur. So, just because there wasn't a deadric invasion during the reign of Katariah, we can't simply conclude she was of the dragonblood and did lit the dragonfires.
