Not an inconsistency if it's the nature of Sasuke's CT

Everyone that has ever been sucked up by a chibaku tensei, was sucked up because the rock they were standing on got pulled up. But I think you're right, Sakura and kakashi were pretty close to sasuke so it might explain why the ground beneath them wasn't affected.

That supports what I'm saying. The rate at which the CT was attracting rubble massively decreased when nagato and sasuke stopped concentrating on the jutsu. Therefore, when sasuke stops concentrating on the jutsu due to naruto's clones distracting him, the original naruto will easily break out because that reduced rate of attraction is not fast enough to keep naruto trapped, the gravitational pull is also weaker when the user stops concentrating. Sasuke has to be actively keeping the jutsu going if he wants to keep naruto trapped.

This is why he had to put the bijuu's under a genjutsu before trapping them because they would break out as soon as sasuke stops concentrating on the CT, i.e when he starts fighting naruto.
