Obito still viewed it too risky to even attempt to fuck with Itachi or Nagato, in Nagato's case he and Zetsu even go on to say they thought Nagato invincible and couldn't believe he lost. Obito wanted the Rinnegan for himself, he didn't care to bring back Madara and he made that clear in the 4th War so it's obvious he felt it too risky and dangerous to mess with Nagato when he was alive. Itachi himself only brought in 1 tailed beast and that was actually Kisame who did that not Itachi as Itachi never actually tried to do so. Obito isn't stupid he knew Itachi wasn't going to bring in any TB's and he knew Itachi's real role and motives. Obito didn't want to screw with Itachi or Nagato because it was too dangerous for him even with Kamui at his disposal hence he waited until Nagato was dead to try to get the Rinnegan
