She did it because she very quickly realized that Raven was trying to manipulate her emotionaly and wouldn't have been sincere with her. There was nothing emotional about Raven's manipulation, it was the attempt to physically restrict her movements and using her oath to bind Yang to it that Yang said "pass" to.

Raven doesn't lie to anyone but herself, she misdirects/omits. Raven tried to manipulate her emotionnaly, like trying to blame Yang for their non-existent relationship and posing herself as a prize to be earned, while using a theatrical,falsely friendly and condescending tone while speaking to Yang only for her to lose her cool once Yang defies her expectations, she later tried to use Yang's ignorance of the world to manipulate her in renouncing to go after Ruby and in staying with the tribe, and Yang wasn't fooled at all by this so she decided that she would better reunite with Qrow and Ruby instead of spending more time with a mother who's manipulative and not sincere with her.
