While this is valid and objectively completely right and hypocritical, telling the others about Raven being the spring maiden is pointless right now though and that's the main difference between Ruby keeping Salem from Ironwood vs. Yang keeping Raven a secret. Ironwood knowing about Salem and her plans as well as Oz could make or break Ironwoods whole plan - potentially putting Mantle & Atlas at risk and putting many lives at stake while Yang keeping Raven secret literally changes nothing. It has no impact at all. Raven was needed to open the vault and get the relic - both of those tasks were completed (and yes - Raven gave the relic to Yang only when she called her out on her bs but that's not the point here). With this Raven's task for now is done and wether the group knows about her or not literally impacts nothing unlike Ruby's lie.

Yang doesn't talk about her mother unless it's mandatory. Should they need the four maiden in the future I don't see Yang keeping Raven being the spring maiden a secret from the group. Yang isn't dumb - doing anything to set back their journey to stop Salem and potentially endangering her whole group doesn't seem like something she'd do + she's smart enough to figure out that keeping it a secret will backfire in the end though because once the others find Raven on their own I don't think Raven won't say anything, making it clear that Yang knew it all along and I don't see Yang shooting herself in the foot like that.

We currently see her inner turmoil and struggle with the whole "keeping secrets" stuff. She'll come around and it might help her in the future to not hesitate to tell the rest if there's ever a need for it.
