Those may be facts. But they are not relevant to this passage.
In Ezekiel 44, This is long after David. It is a vision given to Ezekiel 25 years into the captivity concerning how the priestly service would be after the return from exile. It may be that Zadok was the only clan of Levites that remained in Judah at the split in the kingdom. But the cause of this punishment was allowing the idols to be brought into the Temple, not going with the Northern Kingdom to serve God there. And there was only one Temple. It was in Judah, not the Northern Kingdom. So the sins that these "punished" clans were receiving occurred in Jerusalem.
