I'd explain this with simple theories:

1: Dragonborn's as all good antagonist's soul, splits! Nerevarine maybe was a vampire, his vampire side went to Coldharbour, other to divinity. CoC went to Aetherius, and the Sheogorath went to rule the Shivering Isles. Dragonborn, part of the Nordic pantheon, goes to divinity or sainthood, and his other aspects of his soul goes wherever they go.

2: His soul goes his own way. In Oblivion, he maybe put up just a really powerful copy of himself on the throne of New Sheoth to rule in his place? Beat Nocturnal or did the same thing, a nice little bargain with a demon goddess. c:

3: They didn't die. Vampirism equals immortality through age. Divine power. Magic.

Three, simple theories of mine. <3
