That is a very interesting point, and I have no idea what High Charity was doing in the Sol system. You should note that this is one year before first contact, and this is before the rise of Truth and Regret to the high council. Maybe the previous regime was less interested in the Humans in Sol, possibly discovering the secret that Truth started a genocide to cover up, and destroying the record instead of starting a war.
As for the fleet guarding High Charity, the ships in the fleet are significantly smaller than the actual station.
But they would have been interested in humans, since they have technology that represents all humans as Forerunner artifacts. We saw that in Contact Harvest. You'd think that would get a huge reaction from them.
True, but since Humanity's existence as reclaimers disproved the Covenant religion's idea that the Forerunners left everything for them, the High Council wanted to make sure that the rest of the Covenant wouldn't know the truth. Truth started a war, and it is possible that the previous leadership decided it was easier to cover it up.
Also, This is all based off of a distant picture of a space station. We don't know how much excitement went into the eventual decision to cover it up, or as someone already mentioned, if ONI may have had contact with them.
