Er, no.  He is not paying back Cedric for the mermaid's clue, becuase that's
the second challenge.  It hasn't happened yet!  Cedric actually gives the
egg clue to Harry because he wants to pay him back for the dragons warning.

And he doesn't tell Victor or Fleur because their head teachers have seen
the dragons and will almost certainly pass the info on to their students.
He tells Cedric because he doesn't want Cedric to be the only one not
knowing what he's up against.
