A cleric/druid often leaves a few spell slots open when preparing their spells to be able to adapt to the threats encountered during the adventuring day by preparing them later on, with more insight.
Can those unprepared spell slots be used to spontaneously cast cure / inflict / summon nature's ally spells?
The wording in the entry of spontaneous conversion says "prepared spells" but it seems to fly the face of the idea of spontaneous casting like spontaneous casting classes do. Now, I know this is spontaneous conversion, not casting yet it feels like the idea behind it is to have those spells handled like a spontaneous caster would.

Clerics meditate or pray for their spells. Each cleric must choose a time at which she must spend 1 hour each day in quiet contemplation or supplication to regain her daily allotment of spells. Time spent resting has no effect on whether a cleric can prepare spells. A cleric may prepare and cast any spell on the cleric spell list, provided that she can cast spells of that level, but she must choose which spells to prepare during her daily meditation.
They can't leave slots open to prepare later.
In the Magic chapter, in the Divine Spells section, Preparing Divine Spells paragraph:
Spell Selection and Preparation :
A divine spellcaster selects and prepares spells ahead of time through prayer and meditation at a particular time of day. The time required to prepare spells is the same as it is for a wizard (1 hour), as is the requirement for a relatively peaceful environment. When preparing spells for the day, a divine spellcaster can leave some of her spell slots open. Later during that day, she can repeat the preparation process as often as she likes. During these extra sessions of preparation, she can fill these unused spell slots.
RAW no, RAI probably yes. Expect table variation.
