At the time CE was made Spartans were not a very "known" threat to the Covenant. "Demons" were reported to be sure, but not confirmed until the Halo event.
All the retcon in the last 8 years has changed that up a little, but even with that, the Covenant would have no way to know that a random ship escaping what they thought was the human homeworld would be transporting a Spartan.
