Even if Nagato can't absorb the Wood Dragons, he still has other options to evade them. Shinra Tensei, using the summonings to tank the hit, flying away from range (either with the Bird summoning or Nagato using the Deva Path to levitate himself).

Obito may be able to speed up the rate at which he absorbs something, but that wouldn't make it instantaneous. Also, Say for example that one of Nagato's arms were being sucked into Kamui, that wouldn't make Nagato immobile, he could still function and move his other arms. He just wouldn't be able to walk away. This is similar to how Deidara was still functioning whilst his arm was being sucked into Kamui; he was actively trying to pull out his arm and questioning what the hell was going on. The difference with Nagato is that Nagato can actually do something about being sucked into Kamui, which is Soul Steal. Obito is right next to him and has to be tangible to use Kamui on Nagato. It's unlikely that Obito will grab Nagato and successfully suck him into Kamui before Nagato even touches him. Nagato has too many arms, wires and shared vision to be slow on that. Killer Bee has faster CQC speed than Orange Mask Obito, and a crippled white-haired Nagato dodged him in his Cloak Mode, and then proceeded to disarm him later on when he came to save Naruto with zero difficulty.

He does genjutsu them though. He used genjutsu on Fu and Torune so they wouldn't exploit his weakness. And Obito has nothing to take on Nagato with in his dimension. Think about it. In this match-up, his attempt is to suck Nagato into Kamui. But then after that, then what? He has nothing to touch Nagato with, bar that Wood Dragon if it bypasses Shinra Tensei and a plethora of summonings. Moreover, Obito's chakra supply is quite small in comparison to Nagato's, so Nagato could just stall him out.

And bare in mind, this is without considering Nagato's use of Shadow Clones. Obito most likely wouldn't be able to suck Nagato into Kamui, because the moment he materialised, the clone could just use Bansho Tenin.

We don't know if Obito can even act in that duration of time though. He may be able to move, but the whole point of that technique is to turn reality into illusion. It wouldn't make sense if he could kill someone in that timeframe whilst he technically didn't exist, or was "immortal". If he could have killed during this time period, then he could have killed Konan halfway through the explosion technique, since she was far enough away from it. Why wait until your immortality fades, where you had no chance of dying?
