So, there are two reasons why it might not work: 1) If you're using core-image-minimal, it will never be included using DISTRO_EXTRA_RDEPENDS (nor MACHINE_EXTRA_RDEPENDS, for that matter). This is because core-image-minimal does not include task-base - only the minimum required to get a working system. 2) Otherwise, if task-base has already been built and will be included (which it will be for any image that inherits from core-image and does not override IMAGE_INSTALL, e.g. core-image-sato) but you aren't using OEBasicHash (defaults to enabled for latest Poky, but not for OE-Core's default policy) then changing DISTRO_EXTRA_RDEPENDS after the fact won't do anything unless you force task-base to rebuild.
