More than likely, Zelena is just in a flashback, maybe she had a chance to make a deal with the queens of darkness.

That would make a lot of sense.

Consider Why the QoD kidnap Bella... Likely it was Zelena providing some juicy gossip to them - Zelena did train with Rumples and from her spying on Regina, I think Zelena would have plenty of insight into Rumples: his fondness of Bella (and considering how pissed she was being rejected by Rumples) and  knowledge of his collectables (the gauntlet from Camelot).
