Uninstalling updates simply brings the app back to whatever version was pre-installed in the system. Nothing more.

Also with the account logged in ?
Logged-in or not makes no difference to what "uninstall updates" does.
Of course it will close the app when it deletes the newer version, and it's possible that doing that will log you out. But that's all. I honestly don't see how it would make any real difference whether you were logged in or not.

So isn't there any trouble ?
What trouble do you expect?
It won't change anything in your YouTube account, just the app. As far as data stored on the phone is concerned whether you are logged in or not makes no difference. So I can't see why it would matter.

But is there a way to confirm the elimination of the friends list ?
That's a different question, nothing to do with uninstalling updates to the app.
I don't know because I never used it and have no idea how it worked. But if it cannot be accessed using a web browser and even the older app versions don't show it then as far as you are concerned it is gone. Whether Google simply deleted the data or whether they keep the information about who had messaged who in their ad-targetting database ("X is interested in vintage postcards and Y messaged X on YouTube so let's send ads for vintage postcards to Y") I can't say. But if it's not available through YouTube then even if Google kept a copy somewhere else you won't be able to use it.
Best I can suggest is you go completely through your Google account data and see if there is anything in your history there. If there isn't (and I doubt there will be) then just give up on it.
