It would definitely be a good match-up cause Minato would have to fight 6+ opponents and like NeedleJizo pointed out his normal FTG tactics maybe compromised by the Rinnegan's shared vision and well timed reactions combined with Deva Path's Almighty Push and the constant barrage that Asura Path and the summonings will bring. Not to mention Naraka Path's resurrection ability.

But Pain wouldn't have it easy either since Minato's reflexes and the speed of his jutsu are near instant. I feel like anytime Pain trapped him in a corner he would jump, so he would probably take down at least one in a surprise jump or possibly two if he could mark another and use that Revolving Flying Thunder God. And remember that Naruto's victory was due to the knowledge that he received and while I feel like Minato could figure out each Pain's singular ability and the Rinnegan's linked vision to do all of this in while fighting someone on that scale and coming up with plans to counter each is in his range but he would still be overwhelmed.
