It's short and simple. The reason why Obito said he would have to kill himself to revive Madara is because Madara's body currently doesn't exist. Don't forget he died even before the Kyubi incident(which happened 16years ago). The body decomposition end around 2 or 3 years after the death of one individual, so currently Madara's body should be nothing but dust. Without a body, it's impossible for Obito to bring Madara's soul back to it. If you notice, when Nagato used the Rinnetensei no jutsu, it brought the respective souls back to the bodies
So for Obito to revive Madara, he would need not only to bring Madara's soul back, but put it inside his original body. But since Madara's body normally doesn't exist anymore because of the decomposition, he has to recreate a substitute of his body again. We've seen that
I even doubt Madara really wanted to be revived in that old state. So it makes sense that Obito would have to revive him in his youth, and thus creating a perfect body
For that reason i think that for a Gedo Rinnetensei to revive someone without his original body in a perfect state, the jutsu requires the life of the user and in this case only

, but for that to happen, he needs the rests of the body in question. But in Madara's case, even the rests should be hard to find after such a long period of timeI even doubt Madara really wanted to be revived in that old state.
