I am on the thought that Shanks and Kaido did not battle it out, Shanks somehow used his manly charm (be it his friendly persuasive attitude or could be manly charm as in haki...) to stop Kaido from intercepting WB. The reason I say this is because 1) a battle between two Yonko definitely would not be a short one (otherwise one would have taken out the other a long time ago already) but the marines said they were shock to see Akagami Kaizokudan arriving at Marineford so quickly when they receive report that both Yonko met not long ago 2) As we see the appearance of Shanks and his nakama at Marineford, there were no trace of fresh bruises or wounds resulting from a recent battle, neither the Red Force had any damage.
