Judging from the rumoured spec I would say that K30 pretty much replaces K-5 whereupon K-5's successor has to be somewhat massive, may be even full frame. At least this is what I personally would find logical from technical point of view.

I wonder what the downside(s) would be.  For starters, it doesn't
look like the mode dial on top has a lock.  And I'm not sure there
is an LCD display on the top... but what other things appear to be
missing?

I just started making a list. I welcome additions. It's based on
this leaked set of specifications: http://stdw.us/J8KF5j

K-30 relative to K-5:

+ video improvements (H.264, frame rates, etc.) + focus peaking +
mysterious AF improvements ("i" in SAFOX version number) + AA battery
support

- ISO 51200 (K-30 = 25600) - top LCD - no 1/8000 shutter (K-30 =
1/6000) - slower FPS (but only slightly, 6 FPS, not 4 FPS as
previously leaked) - 14 bit ADC? (guess based on re-using the K-01
sensor&  processor)

TBD: AF fine tuning, full IS capabilities (sensor shift for
composition adjustment, rotation axis, O-GPS1 astrotracer support),
intervalometer, level, quietness... what else?
