Ah yes, excellent question! You might also be wondering why Hitsugaya, Matsumoto, Ikkaku and Ayasegawa all convened at Urahara's shop at the beginning of the Arrancar arc.
My best explanation goes as follows:
Urahara was banished from Soul Society by the Central 46 chambers. If you paid attention, Yamamoto wasn't even present during his trial/ sentencing. Perhaps Yamamoto still had faith that Urahara was not guilty of the crimes he was accused of, and was probably also suspicious himself of the young Sousuke Aizen. If this were true, then perhaps Yamamoto made sure that there was some kind of liaison officer that kept in touch with Urahara after his exile. Also, it shouldn't be too hard for SS to find someone who has a Senkaimon leading directly to his basement. So it was probably no secret to SS of Urahara's whereabouts. It was the Vizard who needed a barrier, and had to hide themselves from both SS and Hollows.
So, Perhaps it's because Yamamoto had faith in Urahara, and allowed his Officers to seek shelter and supplies at the Urahara shop. I'm sure there is more to it than that, but that is the best explanation I can give you for now.
