Maybe there is something in the ground DHDs that normally prohibits locking on what was originally a space gate so only jumpers or other DHDs (like darts) could dial them. That's never brought up in the show though so I don't think that's the case.

I still don't see the wraith moving a gate from the ground to space. It don't make sense to me, personally. The only reason I can see the wraith taking gates from the ground and putting them in space would be to keep the people from escaping during a culling which don't make sense considering that they dial into the gate preventing them from escaping. For me it would be have to all or none in order for the wraith to put the gates in space, but that's just me. Unless it's because of the size of particular hive alliances and they didn't have the "personnel" to dial a ground gate to keep the people from escaping.

The one way I could see it becoming a bit of a problem is if advanced humans got their hands on an Ancient database at some point after the war and went around scamming people by trading previously unknown addresses for valuables, notably spacegates. If someone is stupid enough to simply test addresses by dialing them up and confirming a connection be made with the intent to go exploring at some point after the scammers left (as opposed to smartly making a person trading an address go to that address and come back to confirm it's safe) then they could rack up a bunch of deaths before word gets out. But, that's one of those scenarios that only exists because the Ancients unexpectedly lost.
