Putting Daeron on the throne seems to be an adjustment to the original plan, and Ormund seems to only have come up with it in response to learning that Aemond would not be bringing Vhagar.

That's a good point.

He gave his whole speech about Targaryens being weird/unnatural, and he called Daeron a Hightower.

So maybe he decided Aegon "dying" and Aemon disappearing as a sign.
