Why would the Arbiter have a faster and stronger melee? He doesn't have the genetically engineered super-strength, which is then boosted even more by the MJOLNIR armor, that John has.
Elites don't need augmentations, they go through a lifetime of military service and warrior training. They're already hench.
In case you weren't aware, SPARTAN-IIs did as well. They are the UNSC equivalent of the Sangheili in that respect.
But that lifetime of military training and warrior lifestyle can only get one so far, even the superior strength and physique of the Sangheili as opposed to the humans doesn't necessarily outmach a genetically-engineered super-human.
I think the canon is a little spotty in these details, of whether Spartans are equal to, weaker, or stronger than Sangheili. I would think that they are at least equal.
