I don’t believe you followed the proof from the rambam. Rabbi Akiva and his generation knew bar kochva was not mashiach after he died. It doesn’t say they thought maybe he will come back to life and then be mashiach. It says after he died they knew he isn’t mashiach. Once someone dies they are out. It is hard to imagine a stronger proof in Halacha for any concept than the one I just provided
