Salem wants to kill EVERYONE Masma, especially Ozpin and those associates like Qrow who work with him... Raven was merely re-prioritizing a few of the most relevant while buying time for herself and her people, the only reason the plan was sneak in while Haven was unattended was to not waste the energy killing them individually, Salem still has 3 other relics to collect after all, but once collected nothing else matters. Keep in mind Salem already knew the size of the forces arrayed against her, and Qrow was the only one she thought left of consequence, RWBY aside from Ruby she wasn't even particularly interested in.

Essentially you could almost say Raven did Qrow a favor by ensuring Salem didn't bypass his forces entirely.
