The symbol itself is a lotus and people/organizations tend not to adobt existing and known symbols and names unless they have some relationship with them. We also don't know exactly how long of a gap there was between Dark Sector (present day) and Warframe. It was at least a few hundred years judging by the state of the solar system in Warframe and what we know of the intervening events but it could be many thousands of years. We also don't know how long it has been since The Collapse when the Tenno went into cryosleep but given the time it would take for groups like the Corpus and Grineer to develop in society and build the structures and ships we've seen, it's also at least a few hundred years..

As far as we know, the Lotus has only started reviving Tenno from their cryopods recently and we have seen Tenno come out of cryosleep with her emblem, so we know she was at least around during The Collapse. To assume the entity the Lotus and the lotus emblems are unrelated is a pretty big logic misstep.
