I this case the Saba could build the ports, but they did nothing. You have to add the faction for all port sizes like this:
capability
{
trade_fleet 1 requires factions { barbarian, romans_brutii, romans_scipii, carthage, parthia, pontus, armenia, saba, }
Rinse and repeat for all upgrades.
It works fine with previous savegames as well
