It's my understanding that the Melchisedec priesthood is reserved for Kings that are priests.

You are right. The offices of king and priest were seperate among the Jews. But they knew that in the Messiah, both offices would become united. Jesus became the perfect Kingly Priest.
Zechariah 6:9-14
The word of the Lord came to me: “Take from the exiles Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, who have arrived from Babylon, and go the same day to the house of Josiah, the son of Zephaniah. Take from them silver and gold, and make a crown, and set it on the head of Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest. And say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, “Behold, the man whose name is the Branch: for He shall branch out from His place, and He shall build the temple of the Lord. It is He who shall build the temple of the Lord and shall bear royal honor, and shall sit and rule on His throne. And there shall be a priest on His throne, and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.”’ And the crown shall be in the temple of the Lord as a reminder"
