Gandalf made the connection so if Sauron got the riddles out of Smeagol he too could have deduced a similarity. But even if he didn't make the deduction Gollum was stil a creature which, like Thrain II and other Dwarves, had withstood becoming a wraith. That would be enough to imply that there would be others. The morgul blade would have been an insurance against this kind of resilience.
