The Witch-King was the Lord of Minas Morgul, so he was the head of the hierarchy there. I don't think that the Nazgul were part of the official pecking order at Barad-dur, because they had their own missions and things to do, and they were based at Minas Morgul. So the Witch-King doesn't really count officially in Barad-dur.
