2. Nagato clearly stated that he can only revive the recently deceased, so he obviously could not revive Rin, nor could he revive Yahiko for he was not skilled in using the Rinnegan to its full potential when Yahiko died.

But infact Obito and Madara planed to revive Madara using Nagato, even MANY years after he died, so thats not true. Nagato's knowledge of the six paths abilities come from Obito, aka prince of lies. The plan was for Nagato to revive Madara, so there's no way they would have told him he could revive anyone at any time.
