Jamie was much more dangerous than Sherea and throwing a challenge would have put doubts in Frosti's mind. Todd needed Frosti. Todd also needed James to trust him and that wasn't a given before that move. James could have flipped to ZH if, knowing his clue was what gave Todd an idol, he had been sent empty handed back to the other side.
Anyway Todd had an agreement to share the idols, he knew the power he was putting in James's hands and we saw how that power was wasted.

The only fun in that would have been to expose how stupid the rules of Survivor are.
