Emerald also is only a cmmon thief. Unlike Torchwick who had no problem with killing and stole for the fun of it, Emerald stole for the sake of survival. She is a survivor. The moment she realizes that Salem is a threat to her life she may seek out RWBY to aid them in fighting her. We already know that Emerald doesn't care for Salem so her betrayal of Salem seems quite possible. On the flip side, I can see her continuing to help Salem so that she can get revenge on RWBY and the gang because at the end of Volume 5 right before conjuring up Salem she took glaring, individual glances at each person who was in that room. She is not going to forget those faces ever.
