It didn't actually. Because long before the show aired they'd already gotten confirmation that a ton of actors would return. And the show did so well in fact they added more cameos as it went along. The men who played Ginga Red & Bull Black started up a twitter account after their cameo episode. They let other past actors know about the anniversary show who were unaware. And then they came out of the woodwork and contacted Toei about coming in for cameos no matter how brief they were because those actors love that franchise.

Toei added several new episodic plots revolving around past rangers because of this. In the original plan for the series, only the sentais which bestowed mecha power ups to the Gokaigers would be featured. But as a result of the actors contacting them for cameos as well as the astounding support from fans they added more and more guests.

The difference is that for Power Ranger actors they were treated like crap for the most part, by Saban and then Disney. Even if the money wasn't an issue a lot of them don't feel obligated to come back because of their bad experiences. In the case of Erin Cahill it's because the show is non-union. The US actors have legitimate concerns not to return, but Saban or possibly Tzachor are also really shafting them.
