The answer is simple. If Kyoko had the urge, she would have 1 shot Sayaka then and there, because it would have come from no where. That Kyoko did not capitalise on this advantage is irrelevant because the choice remained there.

If Sayaka was aware that she was being targetted, she would not be so easy to surprise.

Additionally knowing that someone is out to get you allows you to do a counter ambush by tracking said person down. This advantage will be negated if Kyubei told Kyoko that he updated Sayaka on her.

The ending in that case would be a duel where no one side has surprise at all.
