The Fire Ruby that Spike's carrying is from Season 2, episode 10 "Secret of my Excess", so to me it seems likely that this arc takes place sometime after that episode. As for Luna's design in this arc, I have no idea how to answer that to be honest. Perhaps its simply a design choice for the arc and it shouldn't be taken too seriously.
