THere is zero chance of Luffy being a Yonkou. He hasn't been seen as an overly powerful opponent by the WG, he was beaten by a couple Pasifistas and Sentoumaru 2 years ago. As the WG views him now, even though he is a nuisance he isn't overpowered. The fake Luffy referring to the real Luffy as an elite pirate is probably just a fancy way of saying that compared to most people and other rookies he is a beast. Or it could be saying that the government has decided to no longer label Luffy as a rookie due to his involvement with the incidents 2 years ago. At any rate, Luffy won't be a yonkou for a few hundred more episodes.
