What if Japan has launched their own invasion of the USSR at the same time Operation Barbarossa is launched?

This question came up to me when I was studying the surrender of Japan. I read that while the Japanese were afraid of the Atomic Bomb, they were horrified at the Soviet Union's declaration of war, and that is the more prevailing fact of why they surrendered.

As I went on, I read more about the Battles at Khalkhin Gol and Japanese and Soviet relations. Japan was upset at the lose of Khalkhin Gol and the Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact, so the USSR - Japanese Non-Aggression Pact was signed, and any further plans of invasion were shunned.

My Question if Khalkhin Gol had been successful for the Japanese, would they have launched a separate invasion at the same time as Barbarossa, and if so, could it have changed the outcome of the war?
