I think it could easily be explained by a difference of personalities. It's like how the Regents each have different personalities and might have differing opinions on controversial ideas. I'd imagine it's the same in the Brotherhood. Some might have a neutral, or perhaps even slightly positive, view of the Warehouse, while some might have a slightly negative view of them.

I think it's worth noting that we should expand on what the Brotherhood is, what their overall objectives are, history with the Warehouse, etc. It's clear that they're not a major player in terms of artifact collection and only seem to care about keeping specific artifacts safe. Given that the Warehouse gave them the Astrolabe back, I think it's fair to assume that the Regents have agreed with that, or at least have acknowledged that the Brotherhood is both secretive enough and powerful enough to keep these dangerous artifacts secure.

I think the best way to go about that, though, would be to develop a system of "questions", if you will, that would determine if they would want a specific artifact (one that, obviously, the Astrolabe meets all the requirements for). I think among those has to be a consideration of the Regents agreeing that it would be for the best, since they have a (semi-)secure building chock full of artifacts (I only say semi because when you get right down to it, with the right artifact(s), it'd be pretty easy to break in without even being noticed, and if "nobody knows where or what we are" is your primary safety mechanism, then that says something about overall security of the building itself), several areas to store highly dangerous, volatile and world-ending artifacts, and even an off-sight storage for a few others (and perhaps other secrets not privy to non-Regents or Caretakers).
