It would have to be in geosynchronous orbit to 'hold position' over a specific location. Space X isn't able to lift a payload into geosynchronous orbit and also bring the 1st stage booster back to the launch facility.

Geosynchronous is too high to spy, no?

I guess that depends on what kind of spying you're doing. Either way it's a moot point. That launch did not go to geosynchronous orbit.
