It does, but for the moment, we don't really have evidence to support it. And while the Maidens are not allied with any specific group, the good ones are definitely against what Salem wants. They go around killing Grimm and helping people. If Ozpin's group wanted to, they could gather the Maidens to help with something.

And surely, when Ozpin's group finds out who has become a Maiden, they go to her and tell her about the four Maidens, so she knows what's going on. Imagine suddenly gaining these amazing powers, especially if the powers chose you at random. They had to have told Amber what she had become and that she needed to try to keep her powers secret. They let her live her life while checking up on her, especially since she's a lot more help out there than she is if she's trapped in Vale. The Kingdom of Vale had plenty of Huntsmen around to help with things.

And I'm not sure Ozpin's group knew that any of the Maidens were going to be targeted. Now that they know, Qrow is trying to find out who has become the Spring Maiden before Salem does.
