Your screenshot shows him with 0 days of MLB service in the immediately preceding season.

That 86-day requirement is only for players qualifying for arbitration as so-called 'Super-Two' players (those with more than two but less than three years of major league service). All other players are arbitration-eligible once they hit three years of service, and I don't think the amount of service time the prior season matters. (Though as a practical matter if he has no recent major league service he won't have much in the way of major league stats to bolster his salary request.)
