 Dovid Hamelech in this case is the only one who couldn't take a
 brocho. His is the last day, so since the wedding was before YT, SB
 are over.

It depends which order one has the Ushpizin in. I know of three: Yoseif at
the end, in spherotic order; Yoseif after Yaaqov, historical order; and
Shelomo instead of Yoseif, at the end, in both historical and spherotic
order.

I believe that RMB is mistaken about the position of Yosef, according to the first order cited. Yosef is sixth, corresponding to yesod; David Hamelech is seventh, corresponding to malchut. 

In addition, the psukim after each of the hoshanot on Hashana Rabba (today) correspond to the sfirot, in order. Furthermore, there are t'chinot after each of the hakafot of Simchat Torah which mention the seven biblical characters who make up the Ushpizin, in the order of the sfirot.
