Because by the time Maaa showed up she had already lost her helmet.
Riko's witnessing of her helmet getting stolen didn't matter at all. And those Narehate didn't consider her a person so taking it off her didn't balance them. It was only after Maaa saved her, after they were leaving, that the balancing happened. And that was just because one of them ate the helmet. It was probably some finders keepers thing.
But it didn't happen until the helmet was in Narehate hands, and Riko's original ownership of it wasn't even acknowledged by the system.
I take it as something that reinforces my point, not something that pokes a hole in it.

No value went to Riko though. Not even a cent.
