While that might be the case, I have to point out that the Miguel that was featured in was stated to be Spider-Man 2099 of Earth-928. However because the Exiles appeared at an earlier point in his established history and changed events that altered his future path it created a divergence to Earth-6375.

While I understand that the original writer is writing the stories and he likely intends it to be the original Spider-Man 2099 of Earth-928, that still does not rule out that his being in the past can have an effect on his present. Thus we should be treating him just like the "All-New" X-Men characters. Until Marvel specifically shows Miguel back in his own timeline (and it's identified as Earth-928) we should not be assuming that this is the Earth-928 universe version. When he is pulled into the past in it doesn't state which universe this Spider-Man is in.

To say that because they have referenced Earth-9500 in is also not accurate. The agent from TOTEM states that he is from the years 2211 doesn't mean he comes from the same reality of other characters who came from a similar year (IE: Spider-Man of 2211, and Hobgoblin of 2211).

So while Peter David is writing the character again, and because he is introducing similar plot elements doesn't mean that it is conclusively the Spider-Man 2099 of Earth-928. Because he is still on Earth-616 in the present day, and we don't know the effects it will have on the future. Just by being in the past Miguel could create a divergence when he returns to the present that would designate him from another future. Much like Wolverine and Invisible Woman in Age of Ultron, they were Earth-616 until Ultron went back in time and launched his invasion of the modern era and they were forced to go back further into the past where Wolverine killed Henry Pym.

And I know Peter David can come out and say he intends it to be the original Spider-Man 2099, but the reality is that that will be an editorial decision by Marvel. Until they put a universal designation stamp on him and conclude that when he returns home (if he ever does) it is indeed Earth-928 we should not assume he's the original Spider-Man 2099 any more than we are not assuming that the "All-New" X-Men are not from Earth-616's past until the storyline is resolved.
