I have found a source for Mansi living in winter resorts, while being semi-nomadic in late spring, summer and autumn.
The Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mansi_people states:
Traditional livelihood
The Mansi were semi-nomadic hunters and fishermen. Some Mansi also raised reindeer. A few Mansi engaged in agriculture (cultivating barley) and raised cattle and horses.[14]
During the winter, the Mansi lived in stationary huts made out of earth and branches at permanent villages. During the spring, the Mansi moved towards hunting and fishing grounds, where they constructed temporary rectangular-shaped shelters out of birch bark and poles
Looking at Google maps, I would not be amazed if Ushma had far less inhabitants than in wintertime.
If the group might not have noted Ushma, Ushma had highly likely noted this group of travellers.
Without any other source of 'recreation', very probably the Mansi had looked at the group passing by, or even taking a long break while gathering the long lists of Mansi words in the diaries.
It makes sense.
The long list of Mansi words without getting in touch with Mansi, does not make sense.
