so the problem was that they gave up assets and traded to acquire 4 firsts? if they hadn't, would it have been ok for Wally to pick himself in the 2nd then?

is pick value relative to how many other picks the team owns in the same draft?

The way the rules are prior to this change pretty strongly imply you weren't supposed to be able to get a freebie by letting your valuable GM player slide beyond where they should go if you lack the tenure. Wally tried to do just that, and Luke stopped him. Wally had every opportunity to pick himself at a spot worth his value and Luke said he'd take him 19th if he passed on doing so. Wally didn't do that so Luke did what he said he'd do. I agree with this new rule but this is how I see things as the rule was up to this change.
