It's obvious that you can't absorb a jutsu you aren't going to react to. There's no evidence Rinnegan really can't absorb invisible attacks, although it would be surely impossible without knowing that the attack is actually coming on you or the direction of it (yet it's more crucial in Momoshiki's case, since his absorption ability is limited to the right Rinnegan, while if we had been able to perform Blocking Technique Absorption Seal, then the direction wouldn't have mattered at all). Otherwise, Momoshiki or any other Rinnegan user should absorb such attacks easily.
