Excellent point. I think OOP settled the whole James=Remus  theory. (Which I just didn't buy, as a parent - who would abandon his wife/child when they're sought by the most dangerous wizard of all time??)   

To your point - If they changed secret keepers *before* James & Remus did the switching spell - why?  The reason for changing secret keepers (from Sirius to the less obvious choice of Peter) was (I assume - am I wrong?) because James & Sirius suspected Remus was the traitor.  If they changed secret keepers *after* doing the switching spell, it would have been Remus & Sirius who did the deciding, leaving James out of the decision. (What point?)
