I didn't notice the change of uniform insignia which is probably some
brain damage of the writers.  However.  There is only one captain aboard
a sea (space) going vessel.  Admiral Kirk could have been correctly called
captain as the person in charge of the ship if he were Admiral or Lt. J.G.
Any people of rank captain on the ship, who are captain are bumped up in
formal salutation to Commodore (which is how you address a person of rank
just above captain).
