i would expect yogurt and kimche to behave differently than just the byproducts of fermentation: alcohol, vinegar, pickles but both will have some impact on digestion, whether it be a live culture or a ph change.

even different sugars would digest through different pathways.

Yeah, those two in particular have very different common groups of active bacteria, even though both are lactic acid fermentations, so even if one were trying to isolate a specific set of cultures' effects it's really difficult to get that specific. The same sauerkraut at two weeks of fermentation and at four weeks is going to have a very different spread of dominant bacteria, in addition to the amount of sugar that has been converted.
