These verses simply say that the spirit who rescurrected Jesus and whom raised Him is the same spirit that God preached to the people before the flood in the days of Noah as you can find in Genesis 6:3: Then the LORD said, "My Spirit will not contend with [a] man forever, for he is mortal ; his days will be a hundred and twenty years."
It is saying that the same spirit that preached to the people for 120 years in the days of Noah is the same spirit that raised up Jesus. It is not saying that Jesus went back to give those people a second chance.
