Considering Pain blew up the entire leaf village within the space of 5 seconds, I'm sure that he can muster enough strength in even less to block a Yasaka Magatama. You're seriously overestimating this technique. A strong Shinra Tensei will essentially nullify it.

Rasenshuriken is one of the strongest ninjutsu in the series, and Deva path literally turned it into nothing. We all know that the Rasenshuriken explodes when it succeeds contact, but no explosion occurred when Deva used Shinra Tensei. With a technique like Magatama, I don't think the explosion that results from it would turn to nothing, but Pain would literally dissolve it into a flurry of smoke and fire, whether he prolongs Shinra Tensei or not.
