WI a major Indian emperor reached Castile?

What OTL happened to the major Indian emperors:
Moctezuma II - contradictory accounts. By Spanish claim - attacked with missiles by his rebel subjects, died of wounds. By Indian claim - killed by Spaniards shortly before their escape on Noche Triste.
Cuitlahuac - died of smallpox epidemy
Cuauhtemoc - taken alive in 1521. Lived for 3 years a captive in Mexico. Carried along on expedition to Honduras, executed there
Huayna Capac - died of smallpox epidemy
Huascar - executed while a captive of the captive Atahuallpa, with Pizarro´s approval
Atahuallpa - openly executed by Pizarro.

So, WI a major legitimate Indian emperor, having been captured alive, is packed on a ship and sent to Castile, and received by Charles V?

Cuauhtemoc lived for 3 years a captive in Mexico. Practical opportunities to put him on a ship existed.
Was the option ever discussed by contemporaries?

What would have happened if it had been Atahuallpa sent through Panama to Spain?
