Based on this trading down from 26 to the high second round is worth a sixth round pick. And two high second round picks are worth the fourth overall pick.

The second link would indicate that 26 is worth a high second and a fifth round pick and that two high seconds would be worth a top 15 pick.
I dont see the Flames getting two good picks in return for trading back. |
All due respect but those value charts don't provide much information. Teams are getting higher draft picks than a 5th or 6th for moving less spots
According to the last chart you posted those packages should have been good enough to get into the teens or higher at the draft.
For example, last year the Rangers traded 26+48 for 22 and the Blues traded 29+76 for 25
In 2017, the Stars traded 29+70 for 26.
edit:
In 2015, the Leafs traded 24 for 29 and 61. Then moved down further by trading 29 for 34 and 68.
The Islanders traded 33 and 72 for 28.
The Sharks traded 39, 40, and 156 for 31.
In 2014, the Islanders traded 35 and 57 for 28.
It all depends on what prospects are available and if a team thinks it is worth the price to move up and get them.
If the Flames were to trade down from 26, another late 1st or early 2nd and a 3rd is a reasonable expectation for a return based on previous completed draft day trades. If some teams are desperate for a specific prospect they may get more.
