So around that time random people were just showing up like "alright I'm king of Egypt now"?
That's kinda the way to describe all the Intermediate periods of Egypt, yes. In these periods the Egyptian realm had, in general, weak leaders and a very fragile stability making it a prey to larger kingdoms who had previously been attacked by Egypt. Basically nothing much happened during these periods other than Egypt being conquered by almost every civilization around them.
You are right: Nubian is #25.
But the hypotheses still stand: #24 and #25 could have been lumped together (for brevity), historians had a Delta-based bias and therefore overlooked #23 (which was concurrent with #22) or #26 (the Assyrians) forbade mentioning the Nubians (#25).
