Not really, the Cole protocol was only to protect the location of earth, and of course the Covenant already knew the location
On page 333 of First Strike it says that "overwhelming evidence" is not absolute proof. So the Cole Protocol still applied. First they vectoed away from the Unyielding Hierophant and then set course for Earth with an ETA of 35 hours.
