If the buyer of the card in 2021 had PSA regrade the same card and managed to get a higher grade, shouldn't it be in the new, lighthouse slab? What am I missing?

It should be. It's possible the lighthouse label image is not showing up. There have been times when the scanner settings have made it look like it's not there. Check the cert number on PSA's website to see if there's an image listed of the current card, or whether it's got the 8 or 8.5 listed.
It's also possible that the second one is a counterfeited label and slab.
