Well, I don't think their record keeping works this way.
James T. Kirk acted as if the Temporal Prime Directive didn't exist. Kathryn Janeway knew it existed but actively didn't give a fuck.
Why were the temporal police so concerned with Janeways earlier infractions but totally left her alone when she came back to rescue voyager earlier, turbo fucked the borg and brought future tech with her in the finale? Any fun headcanons or observation there?
Because they're more concerned with the Federation continuing to exist as a major player in the galaxy than they are with the timeline remaining unblemished. For whatever reason, Voyager getting home early is better than the alternative.
I think the scale of change, and also displacement, are both factors. Going back 3 days to change who wins a bet isn’t going to piss off the temporal police. Maybe going back and fucking with your own timeline a bit is the same. Maybe that’s why Red Foreman got away with his shit even when it started to impact humans.
Same reason Q tells Q Junior not to provoke the Borg. He can undo the damage, but it's undoubtedly an unprecedentedly monumental effort.

Force must be applied without apology. It's the Starfleet way.
