Even the Sanji fan translation literally says he outranks that other Calamities which clearly means he officially holds highest authority after Kaido.
Katakuri merely getting introduced separately means he's special, but King officially having highest rank doesn't mean anything.

VCs are just re-iterating shit based on bounties. No new info here. If King was the highest ranked, they wouldn't shit on him from the Tobi Roppo to Queen. The only who respects him is Jack, and that's just based on his age.
King, Queen and Jack all have the same rank in the Beast Pirates which is "Ookanban/All Star" (i.e. the highest executive position in the beast pirates). King doesn't have separate superior rank to the other two.
