First of all, there  definitely were multiple pharaons in the old days and there were multiple kingdoms, the last sentence of the third paragraph of that profile explicetely states so "They went into a long slumber in order to instill divine power within themselves so they could restore their former kingdoms and oppose those who destroyed them." That is fiurther supported by the fact that some of the kingdoms were destroyed by apophis' of old. "In the age of the former Demon Lord, many pharaohs were buried forever at the apophis' hands, never to awaken". Ergo there is no reason to believe that there is only one Pharaon kingdom. There could be many at the same time just like in the old days. Plus neither pharaons' awakening nor apophis takeover are described as something that definitely happened but rather as possibilities. It is possible that there are no awakened pharaons, it is possible that some are awakened and none are corrupted, it is possible that some have awakened and part of those got corrupted etc. Further still keep in mind that pharaons are mamono now which means that they are capable of produsing children who will also be pharaons  and there is nothing said about children of those who got poisoned. And last but not the least Apophis objective is stated to be "to prevent the awakening of the pharaohs" which got changed to  basically take over their realms. Which means that even in your scenario they still have an objective.

Edit:typos.
