Short Answer: Luminous wouldn't work in this specific situation.

Longer Reason:

Basically, what the situation looks like in detail is the Automatic Ability of Luminous vs. the Continuous Ability of Artiliger.

Even though the Turn Player does have Priority in the Play Timing, if you look at 2.3 on the image from the Final Phase Flow that InvictusKris uploaded (which would be the same in the Attack Phase), you'll notice that after resting Luminous at 2.2, 2.3 will now consider Luminous "in battle with" the Neodragon Artiliger is in the Soul of.

Even if technically, Luminous' Auto Ability Triggers and is placed into Stand-by because of priority, the result will be the same.

Once it moves to resolution, which would be immediately if you aren't link attacking with something like Star Launcher Soulcanon, which would Trigger 2 Auto Abilities and let the Turn fighter choose which to resolve first, Luminous would fulfill the condition for Artiliger's Continuous Ability and not get the card from the drop. Also, because Continuous Abilities are the only abilities that can Resolve during another resolution, the Non-Turn Player would also be able to use their [Counter] timing and cast a shield, etc...

The attack would still continue, but the ability would be nullified. Abilities resolve when activated, but only to their fullest extent and Luminous' Ability would be nullified before putting a monster into the soul of a Neodragon.
