Yes. Kelifi Dragon is not being played when it is returned by Spangler Box’s ability, it is being put into play, which bypasses normal play restrictions. Kelifi Dragon will return to play no matter how much Æmber is in your pool.Source: Rulebook
In my play area, I control a Spangler Box (CoTA 132) that has purged my own Kelifi Dragon (CoTA 037). Spangler Box is returned to its owner’s hand with Grasping Vines (CoTA 324), but I don’t have any Æmber in my pool. Does my Kelifi Dragon return to my battleline?

I have Grasping Vines under Masterplan. If I use Masterplan’s “Omni” effect to play Grasping Vines, can I return Masterplan to my hand before it is sacrificed?
