It appears that Kautilya's Arthaśāstra was not available to most medieval writers and therefore they relied on the purānas for the treatment of Rājadharma. But the early purānas like the Matsya appear to have made use of Kautilya's work. Vide the author's paper on 'Kautilya and the Matsya-purāna' in Dr. B. C. Law presentation volume II. pp. 13-15.
