Yeah, technically, prime Nagato was able to take on both KCM Naruto and perfect Jinch not because of his great Rinnegan power, but rather because of their lack of brains. A prime example for this was Naruto slamming Nagato with Rasengan and completely forgetting his knowledge of all of Six Paths abilities, espesially Preta Path. They were saved only by Itachi's brain, which luckily accompanied his MS prowess. Without him they would manage neither to counter Nagato's CT nor to seal him properly.
