Why did Spain have spare some territory with Portugal in the Treaty of Tordesillas if the Spanish had already come to the Americas before the Portuguese had?

It was likely that the Portuguese colony of Brazil would eventually expand into Spanish claimed territory. Already by the time of the Treaty of Tordesillas' signing, there were skirmishes over the area that now forms the border between Argentina and Brazil. Furthermore, Spain wanted to avoid a conflict with Portugal in the Old World as concerns Portugal's numerous maritime colonies.
