You've got it wrong.

Firstly Heavy King's physical body when becoming Phantom King,after being enhanced by a bit of the Phantom Ruby's power did'nt make him as strong as the Phantom Ruby it just enhanced him greatly.Even shown that PK's normal attacks did nothing,only pushing Super Sonic back like in previous games and he needed to use the Phantom Ruby's power to be able to harm Super Sonic,so Phantom king's power and durability was'nt really changed thats why Super Sonic could beat him.Same with Giga Metal Sonic,though he needed to be hit in his weak point by having the Glass holding the Phantom Ruby be shattered,in order to be defeated.

We dont know if Sonic Mania Adventures is canon or not,and even if it was it could easily be that,that Metal Sonic was an upgraded one with more power.

The Master Emeralds power was'nt nullified,drained or whatever,the Phantom Ruby's power just affected it's ability to keep the island afloat

The same with Phantom King and Metal Sonic also applies to Infinite,it just enhanced him vastly,meaning that he's Sonic's strongest foe that he's fought in his base form,plus remember he needed help from the avatar to defeat Infinite.
