But isn’t the Resistance disseminating intel they got in the first scene before the FO should have had it to begin with?

I am making some updates to the crawl to reflect that:

Episode IX
THE RISE OF SKYWALKER

Hope! The galaxy has united after
the heroic sacrifice of Luke Skywalker.
Countless systems have taken a stand
against the dreaded FIRST ORDER.

Supreme Leader Kylo Ren, haunted by a
mysterious broadcast, rages in search of a
new enemy on the hidden planet of EXEGOL,
determined to destroy any threat to his rule.

Meanwhile, General Leia Organa has dispatched
her brave agents to intercept this dark message,
certain that it may give them a fighting chance
to end the conflict…

Now… the First Order and Kylo have already heard Palpatine’s message before the Falcon even meets with Boolio (as in the original version of the film) solving the problem you stated. Kylo now knows that Palpatine is on Exogol and gives him motivation for searching for the Wayfinder on Mustafar to find the planet Exogol and Palpatine. The message that the Resistance is hearing is the same as the First Order, that Palps is on Exogol with his fleet and he’s come for revenge. Rey’s journey then mirrors Kylo’s as she hears of Palpatine, and begins searching for the Wayfinder 😃
