Ok to extend MoCA through switch?

I'm assuming that a segment of coax with a MoCA adapter at each end should logically be thought of as nothing more than a cat6 cable. So given that... I have a home wired network. Almost 300' away from the house I have outbuilding A (with coax running between the two). In building A I want to place a switch with a couple IP security cameras on it. I'll put MoCA adapters at both ends of this coax connecting it to my home network. Now... about 275' further from building A I have building B (also with coax running between A and B). I'd like to place MoCA adapters at both ends of this coax and connect building B to the switch in building A.

Is there any reason why this won't work? I know you can't extend MoCA distance by connecting one adapter to another (in this case using 3 adapters). But hooking two separate MoCA networks on a common switch (with 4 adapters) should be ok right? Thanks for your help!
