It might be possible that the Wraith can detect attempts to breach the jamming signal, and could tell Hermiod was moments away from cracking the code. Even if they couldn't keep track of the attempts, they may have just calculated the shortest possible time it would take someone to counter the jamming signal and left when it got too close to that deadline. They couldn't risk the instant, unstoppable destruction of their hives.
But that's just one lurker's speculation.
