Nora's a lot more emotionally aware than she seems initially, and I think the reason she low-key supported Arkos is she decided that it would be healthy for both Jaune and Pyrrha, not just because "It would be totally cute if Jaune and Pyrrha were "together-together!".

In fact I'd actually go as far as saying that Nora is more aware and savvy with matters of the heart than Ren. In "Burning the Candle", compare her insightful line "Practice what you preach, Pyrrha" with Ren's totally clueless talk with Jaune about girls in the same episode. There's also her excitement when Jaune and Pyrrha finally dance ("This is happening!") compared to Ren's cluelessness ("Wait, what's happening?"). And the quick part in "Destiny" where Nora specifically leaves Jaune and Pyrrha alone when Ren is completely oblivious.

Ren just seems oblivious about "love" things most of the time, while Nora is usually very keenly aware of what's going on between Jaune and Pyrrha. I'd say that if Ren and Nora disagreed on Lancaster, Nora would have a well-thought out and ultimately valid reasoning for doing so.
