NoMachine (when configured to use pam) just uses the underlying sshd to
connect. So connecting via ssh and via NoMachine is the same thing. If
you are connecting to the server and the RSA hash has changed, then you
are being connected to an sshd with a different key. I'd look for load
balancers and/or proxy servers between you and the server. You can also
capture the different RSA hash and compare it against keys that you have
for other machines at your work.
