Well that's because that's how gnome-keyring has been configured - it
doesn't have to do that.  A quick Google search will come up with
methods of stopping it happening - for instance on the Ubunutu forums:

All that Evo does is to ask gnome-keyring for the password - if
gnome-keyring needs more info it will ask for it: it shouldn't matter
what version of Gnome you are using.
