Yes,they did all have staffs. But wouldn't it turn Sauron away from Gandalf if he thought of Saruman as the strongest and had corrupted him?He probably wouldn't really care about the others if the,in his eyes wisest and most powerful,had already been corrupted,wich gave Gandalf the chance to do his work without being observed all the time.Nevertheless,when Sauron noticed Gandalf had become the white and threw Saruman out of the order,he did probably pay attention to him.
