I rolled it up below.
The 2 highest RP in all MLB are 60’s
I’d have to check but I believe it was Josh Hader, and Devin Williams.

The problem I'm talking about has nothing to do with a realistic reliever's OVR valuation. In 25, relievers still have high OVR and you could notice this by looking at 2024 season and historical games. (e.g. Edwin Díaz 80, Pete Fairbanks 78..)
The reason why overall rating of relievers in league decreases is because the quality of relievers actually decreases over time.
