As an non EU/EEA passport holder you cannot use the EU/EEA entry points. The NLV only certifies you are resident in Spain but does not provide you with citizenship. Therefore you have to pass through the non EU/EEA line.
This link will provide you with more information:
I believe non EU spouses of EU citizens still have to queue as non EU.
Also, from that link:
"Being a resident in Spain, and having either the old paper-style NIE (Número de
Identificación de Extranjero) document or the new TIE ID cards (Tarjeta de Identificación
de Extranjero) to prove it, allows you to remain in the country for more than 90 days out
of every 180 without a visa – a rule that came in after Britain left the EU"
Since when did an NIE represent residency?.

Hi Keith and welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately, it's your British passport that determines you as a Third Country National and, as such, you have to join the non-EU queue, despite having Spanish residency via an NLV. I have permanent Spanish residency, via a pre-Brexit, Withdrawal Agreement protected TIE, but I also have to join the non-EU queue 🙂
Kind regards,
Kim
