Will I be allowed to enter Spain from a Schengen country as a third-country national resident in that Schengen country?

Your first link has a link to a Map of entry and health control requirements in Spain, depending on your country of departure.

As the Czech Republic is considered a risk area within EU/EEA/CH, additional health requirements exist but you should be okay if Czechia's classification and Spanish policy do not change when you travel.

Czechia

Passengers arriving in Spain by air or sea, including those arriving in transit to other countries, must complete a Health Control Form before departure and obtain their QR to present at boarding and health controls on arrival in Spain. You can find more information on the website https://spth.gob.es Will open in a new window

In addition to the Health Control Form, passengers must present a certificate or document proving vaccination against COVID-19 or a negative certificate of a Diagnostic Test of Active Infection or a certificate of Recovery after having passed this disease. These certificates will be different if they have been issued in a European Union country (EU Digital COVID Certificate) or in a third country. Children under 12 years of age are exempt from presenting these certificates.

This evening, Iberia sent me an email inviting me to fill out a form to see if I'll be admitted to board. The form asked:

  • Origin,
  • Destination,
  • Nationality,
  • Residence,
  • Vaccination status.

Having filled them as stated in the question, I got the reply saying that I will be allowed to board.

In practical terms I find this satisfactory enough.

The link you provide about travel from "third countries" to Spain says:

Any third-country national will be subject to denial of entry, for reasons of public order or public health, unless they belong to one of the following categories:

[...]

k. Persons with a vaccination certificate, that the Ministry of Health recognizes for this purpose, after verification by the health authorities, as well as their accompanying minors (under 12 years of age) [...]

(A third-country national means someone who is not a citizen of an EU or EEA country or Switzerland). The same information is on Reopen EU. So you should not be denied entry for COVID reasons. Of course, the usual disclaimer applies that this information is true now (November 12, 2021) and may change at any time.
