You may have had a custom context set on /var/log/spamassassin or a sub-path in the past, overwritten by a recent update.  That's a normal occurrence if you set context using chcon rather than "semanage fcontext".  The latter is persistent; the former is not.

Spamassassin can write to /var/lib/spamassassin, which makes that a more suitable location for bayes_toks than /var/log.  However, if you'd prefer to keep your bayes_toks file where it is, use:

  semanage fcontext -a -t spamd_var_lib_t /var/log/spamassassin/.spamassassin
  restorecon -Rv /var/log/spamassassin/.spamassassin

That should set a new context for the path in your local policy, and then apply that context.  Afterward, spamd should be able to write to that path.
