The diffraction limit is rarely approached in a spotter, so that doesn't figure.
Rayleigh would figure in if you pushed your 60mm to over 150 power, but the atmosphere and dimness would ruin
your view long before that.
Aberrations force the length up rapidly, though, unless you mitigate that with ED glass,
which makes more of a difference at 80mm than at 60mm or 50mm, where it's easier to use length to
reduce aberration....so...that only makes using a bigger objective expense or trouble...
The most important reasons for aperture at high power are brightness, which goes down as the square
of power and up as the square of aperture, and the exit pupil, which can make eye placement
and contrast hard if it's too small. Aperture benefit is more a matter of power than resolution
directly. The aperture has to keep up with your intended power to keep the field bright, and your eyes
saturated and comfortable.
