Ryan Sook's artwork looks really good. So John got the classic costume with the white gloves, so this flashback must be way back.
If you take a closer look Cyborg actually has the 80s face plate combined with the modern design. Really not sure about the timeline of the flashback itself though. John being in the classic costume has to mean this is during the time he became the main GL after Hal gave up his ring, while Batman having the yellow oval, WW with the classic one piece bathing suit look and Black Canary being there all hint at the Satellite era. Aquaman on the other hand already has his long haired bearded look which I don't believe he had at that time yet, which means Flash could either be Barry or Wally, while Cyborg's presence itself makes it even more confusing since he was never part of that roster unless it's meant to be a possible Super-Friends reference.

That scene is implied to be set rather far in the past as it’s shown it’s a flashback as
spoilers:end of spoilers.
Diana walks past Bruce’s dilapidated tomb at a graveyard
Black & Gold is an out of continuity anthology just like Black & White and Red & Blue. Man what I wouldn’t give for a Black & Green GL anthology series in the same vein right now…

I was wrong about John and the rest not getting entries in the 2016 encyclopedia. It’s listed under S, not J.

Yeah, everyone got their own entry except for Jessica Cruz, who was brand new at that point and only got mentioned at the end of the GLCorps entry. My guess is that John is indeed in the newest edition, but people made the same mistake I did and checked for him under J for John Stewart, rather than S for Stewart, John. I wonder if Hal still has the main GL entry or if its become a catch-all GLCorps entry and he's now listed under J for Jordan, Hal. Presumably Jessica Cruz will now get her own entry in this edition.
Please do, because I really want to see how they've updated the GL stuff
The Alan Scott entry in particular will require some significant rewrites, as his 2016 entry was almost exclusively about the young Earth-2 version.
I'm also curious to see if Hal has still been given the GL entry or if he will now be listed under his name.
