K+ is more concentrated in the urine than filtrate because while other substances are reabsorbed into the capillaries through the large pores, the potassium mostly stays in the urine, which increases its concentration.

Also, the pH of the body needs adjustments, which needs a large amount of K+ to be excreted through the excretory system to adjust to the optimum pH for the body.

How does its high plus pressure condition aid its function of filtrate formation?

blood plasma is secreted from vessels in the glomular capsule. the higher the pressure of the blood when it enters the glomular capsule, the more plasma will be secreted. It's like having a water balloon with a few holes in it--if you squeeze the balloon (add more pressure), then water goes out faster. The plasma that is secreted into the glomular space is called filtrate. The more plasma secreted, the more filtrate that is produced.. The higher the pressure of plasma, the more plasma that is secreted.
