I would argue that the answer to the op question is no. I cannot think of a single HoFer who has become appreciated later on. The only possible exception is Larry Doby who has increased a bit over the last ten years and may jump up if he ever gets his due celebration for integrating the American League. You could also argue that Dihigo has seen a jump but I thinks that just do to the later “discovery” of his cards
I just don’t see any likely players for the jump. I would argue that part of the problem is that the game is played so differently now and it’s harder and harder to compare stats
