You're forgetting the fact that RWBY, including Yang, had already been fighting for some time beforehand, and did not get a full rest. . Yang did actually get rest before that whole train scenario and if it wasn't at 100% it was damn close. So it still makes sense that the precise attacks from Neo were more effective than the strength attacks from the Paladin. I mean the final blow that knocked Yang out was being thrown against the roof of the train.
