I don't recall any of the konaha 11 learning a jutsu that the 4th hokage was unable to do (because he died early) in a matter of a few days. I think people severely overestimate Minato's attempts to add an element. He was busy with a war first and immediately after became Hokage. Secondly, Boruto's rasengan switches the 3rd and 4th step around, adding an elemental release before adding power (which is why it's so small) and it seems to be a pretty weak amount of wind release since it doesn't look like a Wind Style Rasengan at all.
