I've noticed that there are times when God level characters with the rinnegan don't absorb very powerful ninjutsu attacks and choose to tank them instead. Such as when madara got hit by naruto's lava style rasenshuriken:

Or when kaguya got hit by the tailed beast rasenshuriken:

http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Sage_Art:_Super_Tailed_Beast_Rasenshuriken

Or when sasuke didn't absorb momoshiki's attack in the chuunin exams stadium.

All these were extremely high level ninjutsu, in fact the tailed beast rasenshuriken has been called the most marvellous ninjutsu of all time in the databook. So my question is this: is there a limit to the magnitude of jutsu a rinnegan can absorb or is it just inconsistencies from the writers? I know momoshiki was able to absorb bee's tailed beast bomb but his absorption technique was leagues above what has been shown by other weilders of the rinnegan.
