This occurs because when a workflow is first applied to a page as a space workflow
only the link to the workflow is created (and any page restrictions, if using same-space publishing, are applied)
the page (or blog post) itself won't actually transition into the initial workflow state, despite it appearing that way when you look at the workflow status bar
In the Document Activity Report - Content for the content, you'll see that there are no workflow-specific entries listed. These pages are referred to as "unprocessed".
assigning a reviewer is a workflow process and it will use the workflow parameter value
pre-assigned reviewers will not use the workflow parameter value until after a workflow process had occurred such as a transition
Example - using an initial state to add workflow parameter values for an approval pre-assigned reviewers

A space admin can also change the parameter value using the space tools Parameters dashboard before any workflow activity has taken place or a user has set up the parameter value.
