The Jinsei had nothing to do with it, and Raiden specifically attests that "By coupling Quan Chi's dark magics to my own, I managed to restore their souls." I don't think that means a simple reversal, but a combination of magic by both Quan Chi and Raiden.

Consider, then, that he absorbed Shinnok's corruption of the Jinsei to become Dark Raiden (as a side effect). If Quan Chi's magic can restore them when combined with Raiden's magic, it would stand to reason that Shinnok, someone who literally has the same skillset, only more powerful, could do the same; thus, by combining the two forces in one character, Raiden, the Thunder God now (in theory) has the power to revive the revenants by the lonesome.
