I think this is just a special case where news of him very quickly reached the tippy-top of the CCG and extensive discussions were had on him. If I recall right, I think the CCG had tried creating artificial hybrids before and failed. Now, they suddenly have news of a mad scientist who formerly worked for them and is not only continuing their research, but succeeded. After raiding his lab, they confiscated a ton of records of people Kanou had experimented on, Kaneki being on of them. Kaneki, even if they didn't know was Centipede, was always a special case because he already had quite a history.

Kaneki's name had already been buzzing around the CCG for various reasons. He was the kid who was attacked by a ghoul and was part of the organ transplant scandal, he mysteriously disappeared one day and was connected to a cafe run by ghouls, Hide joined the CCG to find him and was discovered to be the person who gave a tip on an Aogiri hideout, he was confirmed as one of Kanou's experiments, and it was suspected that he was Centipede.

Over all, I personally don't think there's a special meaning behind it. Between being a very mysterious and illusive person and a supposed artificial ghoul/human hybrid, Arima and the higher-ups had a lot of reason to pay him special attention.
