Nice post. Actually, Yogananda also praises Kechari mudra a few times in his Gita, describing it in the same way, i.e. in conjunction with the uvula. For example:

"For the spiritual adept, the 'monkey emblem' signifies the control of restless thoughts by certain guru-given spiritual exercizes of reversing the life force from the external senses to the medulla, aided by the practice of Khechari Mudra; touching the tip of the "little tongue," or uvula (the negative pole) with the tip of the regular tongue (the positive pole).

God Talks with Arjuna, page 128

He clearly appreciated its value, but just didn't emphasize it in his teaching of the Kriya technique. Your quote also illustrates the importance of realizing nada, which Yogananda did emphasize in his teaching. This vital objective of Kriya practice often seems to become obscured by the debates about technique.
