It works okay with luatex 1.09 (miktex or dev-TeXLive), but fails in a
current texlive 2018.

The sup/sub pair is higher placed than with context. You could move it
down (at least with luatex) with
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{unicode-math}
\setmathfont{Cambria Math}
\begin{document}
$f_n^j$
\Umathsupsubbottommax\textstyle =2pt
$f_n^j$
\end{document}
unicode-math could probably offer some option to set this.
