There's loads of ways to bring her back given that this is fiction and the entire lore of the RWBYverse hasn't been fully explored. So it is entirely possible.

The thing is though, should she be brought back? Problem with this is if a way to resurrect characters from the dead get revealed. It can cause serious repercussion for the franchise in the future. Because it be very hard to do it again for other characters.

And if this is done repeatedly. The impact of a Character Dying reduces dramatically and The plot will lose an important element of emotion that helps define Survival as it is. If characters die and we expect them to come back to life at some point.

Comic Books abuse this endlessly.

Think of the Death and Return of Superman and how that caused outrage for how it was played out as well as being responsible for comics falling into decline because of how it cheapened the impact of Death.

This is something I do not want happening to RWBY.

For the full impact of her demise and keeping the concept of Death being irreversible with being felt heavily and helps promote character and Plot development, a sacred thing and not tossed away when the situation calls for it.

The Original Phyrra Nikos' demise at the hands of Cinder should not be messed with nor should she ever be revived.

Her soul could be shown to interact with the living again for a brief moment to give words of advice, or a illusion or hallucination of her appears. But I am against her coming back to life to join the group in their struggle against Salem.

She's gone and it should stay that way.
