what if Nevada (and Wyoming, Arizona, etc) decide to reclaim the "public" land within their state? it's not like the gum'ment is gonna evict a state. And I'd challenge that law anyway, seeing as it's not 'equal treatment' in relation to other states.

What they do is go to court, and the court would then ignore the state because those issues have already been before the courts - going back into the 1800s - and the courts have consistently handled them the same way. It would take an appeal to the US Supreme Court, which would have to overturn nearly 200 years of precedence in favor of giving the states much stronger rights than they have been held to have for the last 200 years.
Is that going to happen? Nope. The state would lose.
