Nagato was called the Third Six Paths.. but it seems that title would be false for him if the eyes were only transplanted Rinnegan he himself didn't awaken and Obito knows they were transplanted.. yet he still called Nagato the Third Six Paths... now Black Zetsu said he approached Senju AND Uchiha from the very beginning to try and get either of them to awaken Rinnegan... so I think the simple act of transplanting Izuna/Madara's eyes into an Uzumaki/Senju awakened the Rinnegan within Nagato himself's DNA, so if he was ever revived like Madara was, his own eyes would have Rinnegan awakened in them and he would be able to turn them on/off. Idk it seems far fetched but the Third Six Paths title seems to hint to it?? Actually, Nagato got the Rinnegan because Madara implanted his Rinnegan in to him when he was an infant. Madara awakened Rinnegan by biting a bit of Hashirama's flesh off and putting it in to his wound. He was basically mixing Indra's chakra with Ashura's which brought out Hagaromo's chakra giving Madara the Rinnegan.
