Nocturnal will not be able to claim the dragonborn's soul. If this was the case for daedra, Herma-mora could have just waited until Miraak died and then claimed his soul. Dragonborn are different. Their souls are strong, considering the fact that they are a accumilation of all the souls they have abosorbed. The last dragonborn will likely ascend into Godhood. I also think Shor will make a return, seeing as he likely absorbed Aldiun (much like Miraak could steal souls from the dragons even with the dragonborn present). Furthermore, if you believe in the Skaal's All-maker, the dragonborn will always have a choice to return to him. Even if the Dragonborn was claimed by a Daedric lord, it is likely the dragonborn could surpass the lord and become them, much like the hero of kvatch.
