Neither of those sources are showing Sagittaria as an invasive. The first one ( University of Florida) is a list aquatics "and invasive". Not all the plants listed are invasive.
The page you reference at invasives.org is just a list a Sagittaria. If you go to this page and click on either Federal Noxious Weeds or Aquatics you will only see Sagittaria sagittifolia list. It is not a US native. If you click on State Noxious Weeds you will see that one plus Sagittaria graminea, which is only listed as noxious in Washington State.

Thats not to say that other species are not aggressive, they are just not considered invasive, which is a term used to describe species (usually not native to a particular area) which disrupt the natural ecosystem.
