Just me, but I'd recommend the
RF-603 II over the RF-602. The 602s have separate Tx/Rx units, while the 603II are transceivers that can be either transmitter or receiver, and so you'll only need AAA batteries, not AAA and CR2 (which is a PITA to source). They also have a hotshoe up top, so you can sandwich one between a speedilght and a flash (and ullike the 603 Mark I, have screw locks on the foot, so you won't worry about losing said speedlight/trigger sandwich). But most importantly, they moved the on/off switch to the side, to be an OFF/TX/TRX switch, so a) you can reach it when a flash is mounted up top and b) you can set the on-camera transmitter specifically to be in transmitter mode (something you couldn't do with the Mark Is) and use them on non-Canon/Nikon hotshoes.

Only if the flash is the YN-560 III, YN-560IV, YN-660, or YN-560Li (aka YN-720), which have the built-in radio trigger.
The YN-460 has no built-in radio trigger and cannot have its power controlled remotely by a YN-560 because it can only be communicated with through the single-pin on the hotshoe, not a built-in radio trigger. Group control will only work if the YN-460 is mounted on an RF-605.
Just me, but ditch the Yongnuo gear and get a $65
Godox TT600 and a $70
XPro-P transmitter. Yes, it's more money than $25 triggers. But you'll have a light with a built in radio receiver you'll never forget to pack and never need additional batteries for, and you'll only need to remember AA batteries (not AA, AAA, and CR2) and
you'll have HSS and remote power control. And if Godox comes out with a TT685-P or you decide to get an AD200, you'll also get TTL both on/off camera. And the TT600 will still work with the new light in the same triggering scheme.
You also won't have to deal with those PITA LED "idiot lights" on the YN-460, but have an actual LCD display.
Yongnuo doesn't make P-TTL gear of any kind (triggers or flashes) for Pentax, and they don't make the bigger lights Godox does (AD200, etc.)
