A random thought, but I wonder if Talbot is the old aquaintance. He did know Primo...
Maybe since Yamamoto didn't specifically say it was his old acquaintance. For all we know, he might actually be referring to Daemon Spade's old acquaintance. :))
But if it's really an old acquaintance of Yamamoto, why keep Talbot a secret?
Let's assume Yamamoto really was referring to Talbot, there would be no impact to the readers and to the other guardians since we saw him appear in this present arc already. He's still fresh in our minds. We'd all think, "Ah. Should have expected that."
If it's someone from a previous arc, there's a high probability that the readers would all think, "WHOA! Didn't see that one coming!" because it was someone we thought we will never see again.
So, there. I think the only help Talbot gave Yamamoto was the ring upgrade and not the cure for his dead legs. Then again, we'll never know until the update. Amano likes giving us surprises. Hahahaha!
