Why else would they come out after Walt told them not to bother? It's not like they couldn't grab Walt whenever they wanted and assassinate Jesse another time.

Because Walt is their meal ticket and they figured he was in trouble. I would have been surprised if they didn't come given Walt's phone call. For all they knew, Jesse was pointing a gun at Walt and telling him to call it off.
I thought it would have been cooler though if Walt never called it off and instead, stalled Hank and Gomez long enough for Todd's gang to get there. Would have been much more fitting of Heisenberg to do something like that. Would have loved to see Hank, thinking that he outsmarted Walt, only to realize that Walt trapped him in the end. Oh well. I think the writers have been attempting to recapture Walt's humanity this season, which kind of goes against this whole evolution into Scareface. Interesting non-the-less.
