The dreadnaught was responsible for supplying High Charity with a fair amount of power, but not all of it.
And it is likely High Charity jumped on it's own with the last of it's power, as Gravemind was on board along with Cortana, with it being likely that one of them knew where the Ark was.
Surely Cortana wouldn't have given up her last secret to Gravemind without any guarantee John was coming?
Also, the Ark was outside of the galaxy, i doubt that a mass as large as High Charity could have gotten there in time, and on reserve power.
Which must mean that the Gravemind took the Ark portal on Earth, passing up the opportunity for a free meal on the way.
Gravemind tricked Cortana, by sending a ship to Earth, and faking itself being "occupied." Cortana took the opportunity and piggybacked a message of her to warn Earth, which of course fell right into it's trap, revealing her best kept secrets.
And don't forget, High Charity is a huge mass, and when John arrives on it when it landed on the Ark, it was in pretty poor shape, as he used it's reactors, which by the way had gone critical because of the strain of the trip, to finish it off.
