Just because you learn something as spam doesn't mean it will be blocked. SA will add a score to the message based on the bayes rules, but if the bayes rules are the only ones that get hit, and they score less than your threshold, it won't keep the stuff out. For example, the default score in 2.6.x for BAYES_90 is either 2.454 or 2.101. If that's the only rule you hit, and your threshold is above those numbers, it will come through.
