Sometimes powdery mildew is a result of dry soil, when plants are otherwise healthy and growing well eg on cucumber, lambs lettuce and I suspect your fast growing spinach may be suffereing from the lack oif recent rain.
It is not infectious. Repeat not. Your slower growing lettuce do not have it.
I would not spray, but enjoy the rain, even add some water from a can. Spinach is mostly water.
