The problem being that the random factor ("Kyon") more or less set in motion that the fail safe would become the main unit by his own interactions with her in the past (and knowledge of future events). Thus to maintain the timeline, Yuki approached Kyon first of the group, to complete the time loop of the two time travelers in her room. (though in one respect she did lie to Kyon...there was someone at her place when he came over the first time. Himself and Mikuru).
That makes a lot of sense... if the author actually had planned that far in advance...

(I think we put more thought into this series than he does...)

Anyway, it's worth pointing out that Ryoko contacted Kyon before Yuki did. I doubt Ryoko was told about the time loop, though.
