Not tested but something like this might work.

  - fetch:
      src: /path/to/file
    register: r

  - set_fact:
      rt1: '{{ (r.content | b64decode).split('/')[0] }}'
      stage_name: '{{ (r.content | b64decode).split('/')[1] }}'
      job_name: '{{ (r.content | b64decode).split('/')[2].split(':')[0] }}'
      version_number: '{{ (r.content | b64decode).split('/')[2].split(':')[1] }}'
