How to get filtered data with spath?

I am trying to build stats for a set of JSON data which looks like this:

{
   "ts":1527498793267,
   "version":"1.12.7",
   "data":{
      "myList":[
         {
            "id":"180528_090203",
            "nativeRequestReceived":1,
            "nativeResponseSent":1
         },
         {
            "id":"180528_090129",
            "nativeRequestReceived":1,
            "nativeResponseSent":1
         }
      ],
      "freemem":6534152192
   },
   "time":"2018-05-28T09:13:13.267Z",
   "v":0
}

I am using following splunk command to build stats table:

spath path=data.myList{} output=myList | spath input=myList | stats sum(nativeRequestReceived) sum(nativeResponseSent) by id

I use sum here because there will be multiple JSON objects like the one written above and I would like to add all nativeRequestReceived and nativeResponseSent for each id and group them by id. It can be seen clearly that there are 2 different ids each with 1 nativeRequestReceived. But the output looks like this. It ignores one of the ids. Can someone help me in clarifying what went wrong here?

id                sum(nativeRequestReceived)     sum(nativeResponseSent)
180528_090203           1                             1
