They need to be in his Field of vision for his absorption along with physical contact, its the whole reason he was trying so hard to get ahold of Naruto earlier in the 4th War.

But yeah speedwise Itachi did the most between them all, the way he was able to blitz Sasuke in their last battle or the fact he was 95% of the time going toe to toe in taijutsu with Sage Mode Kabuto except for the moments where Kabuto did a surprise attack like when he launched out of the snake and cut Itachi in half. Itachi's handspeed doesn't even need to be talked about, it's unprecedented as is. I say Itachi then Sasuke or Obito, then Madara. If we add Shisui to this then he still has the edge in overall speed compared to Itachi.
