As I said, he was supposed to be on the transport, but was pulled from the detail. Tyrian was in Mistral, so that would suggest Lionheart would have influence over who was involved in transporting Tyrian. We don't know how long Lionheart was working for Salem, but his assistance of Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury, suggests this was not a response to the fall of Beacon. Quite plausible that he was working for Salem at the time and specifically had Pickerel pulled on Salem's orders, which makes sense as she intercepted the transport. Whole point is that she intervenes and changes the story of the character, possibly by severing the character's actual or potential relationship with another character key to the story.
