Or else The Third would have come back as the jinchūriki of the 1st and 2nd. Instead they were all free. Even though the seal they were all freed from placed them all in the God of Death's stomach the Yang half of Kurama as well, and no one can remember death Minato comes back as a perfect host? I call shenanigans. I get where this is coming from, but no. Think of it this way: Orochimaru only undid the seals that held the Kage, not Kurama. So while the First and Second were unsealed from the Third, and the Third and Fourth unsealed from the Death God, Minato's seal was not broken. In theory, yes Orochimaru could've made the Third the host of the First and Second, but this clearly wasn't the plan as he needed them for Sasuke's answers.

The difficulty of the Versus is that we don't know the extent of Kakashi's power, while we can fairly easily extrapolate that of Minato. With Kurama in him, Minato can use Flying Raijin (with shadowclones even) and spam that technique and use Rasengan hundreds of times. Kakashi can simply use twice-as-fast Kamui to dodge everything and defeat Minato by whisking him away.

The problem then becomes, what runs out faster: Kakashi's ability to maintain intangibility until he can strike and whisk Minato away, or Minato's endless attemtps to catch Kakashi in a split-second of tangibility? If he merely received Obito chakra, Kakashi may not last long enough, but if there's something of Juubito left he too may be able to maintain a spam of Intangibility. Especially since we don't know exactly how much chakra it takes. Rasengan takes quite a bit, Raijin is unknown, Intangibility is unknown.
