Brief Answer:
It will not cause or remove nodes

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I read your query and here is my advice.

Cracking knuckles is harmless and will not cause inflammation, nodes or any other things at the joints. If you have already any node on the fingers stopping cracking knuckles will not make them disappear.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.

I see the picture you attached and I don't think that nodes can be affected by cracking the knuckles.
