There is a lot of factors leading to a ghoul's rating, and while aggression is one of them, a significantly higher grade in another area might overrule less prominent factors. In this case that higher factor would obviously be his very high-quality kagune, which would make him a threat if approached. Rating is probably disregarded in anything but the briefing for the elimination or capture when it comes to powerful pacifist ghouls.

Bet they could give him an S-rating from his kagune(kakuja) alone, even disregarding his lack of aggression. If CCG wants a new asset, they´ll just grab it regardless of the ghoul's attitude. Although I do remember someone saying Arata had a team from an encounter struggle to death before Mado and Shinohara went for him. Doesn´t really look like he was an all-time non-killer, if pressed, pretty much like Yoshimura.
