I think what you are referring to is this: with two kings up, the chance that SOMEONE has a pair of kings goes up. The chance of any individual person having kings goes down. And I think that with 3 kings up the chance of even "someone" having kings goes back down. (Feel free to correct me anyone.)

My calculations of the odds:

With one King up, the chance that that player also has another King is approximately 14.46%.

With two Kings up, the chance that one of those players also has another King is approximately 19.77%.

With three Kings up, the chance that one of those players has the case King is approximately 15.22%.

I think I'm right, but I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm not.
