Why would the Covenant have come to Earth.
Cortana says that they didn't expect us to be on Earth. They didn't expect us to be there because they didn't know we were there.
They came to Earth to activate the Ark, which is most definately that giant thing in the ground. It only has to be big enough to activate all the Halos, not to be one on its own.
I say that 15 miles is large enough to generate a hell of a lot of energy.
They were probably just following a lead they got from a stone or something, thats how they found Reach, and Reach obviously didn't have the Ark on/in it
