Were we watching the same episode? Homura admitted herself that she didn't want to help Sayaka. She was refused thanks in part to her lying about her intentions. This wasn't about stroking anyone's ego. Homura's sole obession with Madoka has been clear from the very start.
The only thing Kyoko got in the way of was Homura trying to kill another character in the series.
Certainly Sayaka's problem was being inflexible in changing her views. By the end she certainly didn't see Kyoko as an enemy, but it was a slow thing that required a lot of effort from Kyoko to break through. No shock that she couldn't trust Homura thanks to enough evidence to doubt her. The first time she really gets to interact with Homura is when she's seemingly ready to attack Madoka and QB. Then have fairly open disagreements with Mami who was a friend. Then have Homura popping out of nowhere to defeat the witch after Mami was killed. Neither Madoka or Homura ever found a need to explain that she was restrained by Mami and thus couldn't have acted any sooner.
No doubt that Sayaka made a lot of mistakes. But the first impressions given by Kyoko and Homura were pretty negative and helped make them tough to trust. Sayaka helped put herself into this bad situation, but it's not like other characters didn't help contribute to it.
