If there is an obstruction, such as the fleet, or a damaging storm, the ships will fly around.

Since his ships weren't on a chokepoint, your ships just sidestepped him.

Pathing is dynamic, and can change from turn to turn and even day to day as stellar manipulation occurs and fleets wander through space.

If his fleet were trying to intercept yours, then the combat days and movement day details would have had a chance to work their magic.
As it is, I believe if you watch the movement replay, you'll see that your fleets were never in the same sector.
