I mean, it's a possibility, as Raven seems to be the type of individual to play the long game in terms of her enemies, providing she could not destroy them immediately. For me personally, though, I see how that happens in only one way.

1. Qrow knows that Yang and Weiss came through Raven's portal, meaning they were with her at some point and managed to convince her to let them come to him.

2. Yang & Weiss would probably explain to the main group how they got there, and what they had learned from Raven. In this case, it would be "magic is real, Salem exists, people can come back from the dead." They will probably then be brought up to speed because the plot demands it (and Weiss had previously up until this point no overarching plot significance to any of the villains other than with Roman, and Yang's been inactive ever since taking on some of them and losing.

3. Yang and Weiss will probably be informed of the Spring Maiden likely being at the camp, and the only way I see Qrow confirming Vernal is there is if they happen to mention the random lightning strike. And even then, considering how difficult it was for them to accept magic's existence, they might attribute it to Semblance.

4. Raven might not think of the possibility because the lightning strike could be explained through Semblance, and the two weren't aware of magic's existence just yet. And what with seeing how Raven (and by extension Qrow) can become birds, they might've forgotten about the strike in their awe of Raven.
