Breaker size

50a non continuous load. Have #6 wire run from breaker to disconnect then #8 ran rest of way. 50a breaker would work? Run about 45'

Assuming it is not nm cable then you are fine

Could this be a mistake?

Maybe they think it would be an NM type cable being installed and not conduit/wire?

Not necessarily. Whoever may be covering themselves in the event the wiring method is NM.

Sounds like it. Most home spas get branch circuits run with NM cable.

Could be a warranty issue it wired with #8's???
