I personally see no fundamental difference between direct and indirect ways of influence, except in so far as they relate to stuff like expected value.
I agree that given the amount expected influence, other universes are not high on my priority list, but they are still on my priority list. I expect the same for consequentialists in other universes. I also expect consequentialist beings that control most of their universe to get around to most of the things on their priority list, hence I expect them to influence the Solmonoff prior.
