Clarify the three different explanations of the Gemara as to why specifically a barrel that was not מקודשת was used

Tosfos proves that a כלי שרת is only מקדש inside the Beis Hamikdash 

Why didn’t they fill up a מקודשת barrel and leave it outside the beis hamikdash until shabbos morning so there would be no disqualification of לינה?
