What you can see here is the effect of the sensor pitch, at 1:1 view: the K10d has the lowest 'magnification', then K-1 and K- 5IIs are really close and K-3II provides the highest resolution (as in pixel per object size) and thus allows to capture the finest detail. The K-1 picture seems to have a little problem, for sure focus is a little farther back, but it should be looking nearly identical to the K-5IIs when focused on the same point.
The K-1 should be just slightly lower resolution than the K-5. Are you sure the lens with locked to the same magnification setting for all the pictures? If you focused these shots with the lens (either autofocus or by manually turning the lens barrel), they will all be at different magnifications and thus seem to have strange resolutions.
