These are two different questions. The IV ranks further up say which Kartana to build; the meta rank says whether Kartana is worth building at all. Ranks and movesets come from PvPoke, whose battle simulations produce them, and they move as the meta does.
How to find a good Kartana
The search-string generator builds a string you can paste into the search bar in Pokémon GO. It matches the CP, HP and appraisal stars of the top spreads above — pre-evolutions included — so you can sweep a whole storage box in one go.
To check a Kartana you already own, open the IV ranker and set its IVs. It ranks every stage of the evolution line at once and shows the meta rank beside the IV rank.
