Given that Paul uses the "normal" word order in verse 10 -- in which he specifies much of what constitutes the ADIKOI -- maybe he actually meant his readers to construe ADIKOI QEOU together as a phrase emphasizing the nature of the unrigtheousness that will disqualify one from inheriting the kingdom: It is not just a social unrighteousness (a differentiation between members of the Church and the local community) but an "unrighteousness with respect to God."

That would leave BASILEIAN on it's own, without a genitive, either QEOU or hUIOU or AUTOU. Paul rarely does that. Here is one example:

1Cor. 15:24 εἶτα τὸ τέλος, ὅταν παραδιδῷ τὴν βασιλείαν τῷ θεῷ καὶ πατρί, ὅταν καταργήσῃ πᾶσαν ἀρχὴν καὶ πᾶσαν ἐξουσίαν καὶ δύναμιν. 

1Cor. 15:24 EITA TO TELOS, hOTAN PARADIDWi THN BASILEIAN TWi QEWi KAI PATRI, hOTAN KATARGHSHi PASAN ARCHN KAI PASAN EXOUSIAN KAI DUNAMIN.
