This has been discussed several times in other forums and I've heard it's a mistranslation from the part of a fan editor but I think it has some iota of factual sense in it.
First of all, Many state the fact that Nagato Pain was caught in Frog genjutsu and this use it as a way to dismiss this notion, but There was a significant difference in that particular genjutsu from other genjutsus.
- It was a Genjutsu sung by Frogs. Not human beings. And the Data book does enunciate the peculiarity of this particular genjutsu.
It specifies the fact that normal humans can't sing the duet which upon hearing casts the genjutsu upon the victim. Not only that, calls it the most powerful type of genjutsu of it's tier department.
Now as we y'all know, Rinnegan is called the origin of Ninjutsu in the data book. Ninjutsu has been stated to be an unadvanced version of Genjutsu, of which, this version is Ninjutsu's advanced form.
As stated in this panel, Sage toads Transcend humans, in other words all shinobi living in Narutoverse, hence thier capabilities are never outmatched by human genjutsu users. Also this scan in particular negates all doubts in terms to this concept
Toads don't have chakra. They convert the energy of nature into usable chakra.
Here exists the trick to why Rinnegan was caught,
Rinnegan can sense all forms of Chakra and absorb all kinds of chakra containing Ninjutsu since it is the very origin of the concept of Ninjutsu.
But nature energy is not Ninjutsu. It's Senjutsu. When Senjutsu is manifested in normal Humans, Chakra is added with Nature energy but Toads convert nature energy itself into Chakra, effectively bypassing the Rinnegan immunity to all forms of Chakra produced substances and tricking the Rinnegan sensor "computer" into not detecting it as Chakra as it's pure nature energy disguised in the Form of Chakra. This is the very reason why Pain Nagato stated this statement
"Incredible genjutsu..." is the keyword. Which means, not any type of Genjutsu will work, in fact, no type of human made genjutsu will work, That's the exact reason, Nagato who had the knowledge of almost all types of jutsu in the world as him possessing the Rinnegan enables it, didn't know the existence of this genjutsu because it's not a part of the real world. Look at the diagram column in the panel, It says "secluded region..", meaning, no one except those led by "fate" as stated in the same panel, knows of the existence and has access to the secrets of that place.
Another reason is Indra and Asura's chakra. Indra is the ancestor of the Uchiha who'd all the eye power of Uchiha and other descendant clans, and Asura had all the lifeforce and power of the other set of clans. Both of thier chakra genes are the result of the Sage's chakra which is the Rinnegan manifestation.
Having both of thier abilities, create a version of yin-yang like the Truth seeking balls which negate all Ninjutsu, except the fact that Rinnegan is the complete version of Yin-yang like the Bijū.
As Rinnegan possesses both of these powers in one glass, they're immune to genjutsu which is included in it's very compositions.
Also in this panel.
Pain acknowledges the fact that Jiraiya has the special sage jutsu, meaning he acknowledges the fact that only this jutsu can stop him and that's the reason why he said " You've that jutsu....", meaning he knows this one particular jutsu, he has a weakness towards.
