Puppet uses hiera only during catalog compilation, so agent nodes do not
normally require it. Correspondingly, only hiera data residing on the
master contribute to catalogs compiled by the master -- is that your
problem?

Are you anywhere instructing Puppet to include the classes listed in your
hiera data in the catalog?
You haven't really given us much to work with. Generally speaking, Puppet
and hiera work. If they are not working for you, then the problem likely
resides in the configuration, manifests, or data that you are feeding
them. If you present a simple example that is failing for you, then we can
probably help you sort it out.
