When a card is bad for your range

BN: svansa: $466.12
SB: lockyzhang: $90.60
BB: Hero: $200
UTG: llBumBumllll: $359.38
HJ: Castello R: $100
CO: vital656: $157.08
Preflop ($3.00) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt K J
llBumBumllll raises to $6, Castello R calls $6, vital656 folds, svansa folds, lockyzhang folds, Hero calls $4
Flop ($19.00) 3 6 4 (3 Players)
Hero checks, llBumBumllll bets $10, Castello R calls $10, Hero raises to $30, llBumBumllll calls $20, Castello R folds
This is probably pretty standard. Bumbum is an aggressive reg, and nobody should have many monsters on this flop, apart from sets.
His sizing also looks like he just wants to take it down.
Good spot for a squeeze, imo.

When I c/r here 3-way, my range looks like 33/66/44/75s, spades, 64s maybe, A2/A5s, 55, 78, maybe KQhh
Turn ($89.00) 3 6 4 2 (2 Players)
Hero bets $42, llBumBumllll folds

SInce most of my value range is sets, and most semi-bluffs are spades, this is a bad card for my range.
If I had 66, would I bet-call here? (let's forget about Villian opening UTG and not having many 5x for a moment)
The correct move would probably be to c/c, but wouldn't I have to c/c my FDs as well, and bomb a board pair? If I did c/c the turn here and spades hit, do I lead as well?

How do you guys play runouts that are bad for your range?
The auto-pilot in me just bets because I have no showdown value, but I do have a decent draw.
But range wise, does it make sense?
