Heck, this was long before she met Salem, so there's no chance of Spring falling into her hands. I'm not suggesting Cinder would have killed her beyond about 2 years prior to V1, we know for a fact Leo betrayed Ozpin over a year ago by providing false transcripts, 7 years are unlikely to make a big difference if she wasn't making progress(likely amounting to about 3 years worth of solid experience), and Ozpin has been leaving individual maidens to local jurisdictions... meaning she would have been Leo's to protect and lose.
